... But there are three elements, so it may be worth at least a continuity check as per the info above.

No - just a multimeter on fuses 1, 2 and 3 as described in the last paragraph of the pdf I put up. I don't know where the E-box is, but hopefully someone on here could enlighten us.

With PTC active, remove each fuse in turn and find where the 12V feed side is, then you know the other is the load side. Switch off and check continuity between the load side and ground. Simple test, but worth doing.

Ok as soon a I can get my hands on one I will give it a try !

Excellent - two things you cannot exist on the planet without:

1. Small Swiss army knife
2. Multimeter

Lol i have the first but not the 2nd :-(

(Very true Guineafowl!)

Wasn’t aware of the PTC. .....And there was me out over the weekend twice resisting to turn the fan on for first couple of miles in freezing temps, thinking it would help heat things up quicker!!!

Thanks for the tip, I will see if it works on the next trip.

Well I added the new thermostat to the top hose yesterday and my god What a difference !!! Well worth doing if your freelander seems to be taking forever to warm up.
