Heated seat on for the first time in a while & seemed to get far too hot, most uncomfortable after a short time . Touched the seat while sitting on it & could feel the element , very hot to touch. Any ideas ? Tried the search stan , couldn't find anything!

press the button again to put it on the lower heat

could be a short in the seat causing the excess heat.. ... - .- -.

There is a built in thermistor I think its called that can sometimes fail and is not a problem unique to LR, every manufacturer heated seat has it happen after a while if the element doesn't give out first! FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

I only ever use mine on setting 1... Full on is too hot for my delicate posterior. Previously..

Change the seat im afraid!

The older cars heating elements in seats and steering wheel do this when they get on a bit and as Craig says its replacement or possible fire I am afraid.....

NNnooooooooo !!

Don't show me pictures like that, I'll never sit on the seat again. Every time I close my eyes, the image that the nasty man put on the internet appear........

Good job I've got plenty of insulation in my "seat area".

Seriously, thats a bit scarey. Piggin' el....... 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8
