Quick question... the more I look at what my equipment my TD5 Landmark had when I bought it, the more I think the PO(s) has either removed stuff, or it's not a Landmark. :eek:

According to this site http://www.discovery2.co.uk/discovery_spec.html it should have heated seats, or have I misread the table? Anyway, mine has no switches at all for the front seats..

Is there an easy way to find out whether the seats have the heater elements fitted?

A lot of land rover special editions, especially run out ones can be all fancy dress with no knickers.
I understand the last D4 landmarks are a bit spartan.

I'll have to take a look at mine tomorrow but im pretty sure you can see the wires coming from underneath going into the fabric underside somewhere :confused:
 
Just been to have a quick look under the front seats, and there's not much under there at all... There is some yellow cabling under both, but I thought this was part of the seat belt warning circuitry and t he only "spare" connector is under the drivers seat. I've checked the centre console, are there are two connectors for the switches, so can I assume that all I need are the switches themselves?

Here’s mine, 2 connecters for seat adjustment and heaters, and the one yellow plug is for the seatbelt tensioner, which tightens the belt when the airbags deploy I believe.

Does anyone know if the heated seat switches have to be installed in pairs, or can I just get one for the driver's side?

If I recall they have separate plugs on the back of them for each switch , not sure if the switches themselves are seperate or joined together but I can’t see why you couldn’t just plug one in, maybe wait for someone to confirm that though :confused:
 
Definitely different switches and connection blocks, but as @Jamiegreen says, can’t confirm how these connect together in the loom. Had my centre console out a few weeks ago to refinish the veneer.
 
Managed to pick up a couple of switches for 20 notes.... and I know it's not going to be as easy as just connecting them to the existing loom... it never is :rolleyes:
 
So, as expected, just plugging in the new switches hasn't made the heated seats work :( Not sure if there a loom issue somewhere coz the ON light activates on both switches when the drivers side is turned on. Need to check it for any problems using Rave as a reference.

Well given the wiring you have under the seats I would be a little skeptical as to whether there are any heating elements in there :confused: I'd offer you the seats out my old disco but they are probably in worse condition than yours (well the drivers) and probably quite far away, but they are heated/ electric controlled ones.
 
I did, but it wasn't the outcome I was hoping for.
Turned out that my leather seats didn't have the heating elements fitted to them.
