Disco 4 (LR4) FBH / timed climate. Is it working properly?

Going in to the 1st winter with my Jan 13 D4 HSE, and have been experimenting with timed climate. I can hear the unit running and so far it has warmed enough to clear frosted windows, but it doesn’t seem to warm the inside of the car and the temperature gauge on the dash doesn’t rise significantly, even after a full 20 mins of operation. Does this sound right please? Was expecting the temperature inside the car to be comfortable!

The engine does seem to get up to temp fairly quickly though when the FBH has been running.

Yep

Thanks! No need to worry then.

On my D3 fbh 30 mins will get temp between 1/3rd and halway on the guage depening on time of the year.
Aim for 30 minutes run time for max effect.

Thanks lynall. The D4 only runs for a preset 20 mins unfortunately.

That's so there's enough reserved power in the battery to start the vehicle.
