In this freezing weather I've found that my heated seats on my 2001 P38 do actually work (a bit). I didnt think they did but in these extremes it is noticable.

As I say its noticable - not warm. Is there anything I can do to make them warmer - they are the coldest "working" heated seats I have come accross.

Thanks,
Steve

sounds like a damaged element to me .........
P 38 heated seats have a definite life time and regularily give up the ghost.

Fix is pretty easy, but needs a good afternoon ........ strip the seat down and check continuity of the element all the way through ...... should be easy enough to find with a multi meter ...... soldering iron is all you need.
 
no...if it warms up at all its the thermostate..either replace with one already mentioned,or as i did, move it to front of seat away from all the elements, so that way dont get all the heat..mine are now very toasty indeed..

Hi steve,i had the same prob with mine.Its a 2001 as well,turned out that the seats were not working at all and so had them changed.Yes you will know when they work,they do get warm(both of mine had gone).However the one's in a P38 do not get as hot as in a LR3 range rover..But i think your range needs new ones,sometimes they can be mended but???
