Seat heaters and rear defrost... - 8/23/2007 11:36:29 AM    hollis   Posts: 54 Joined: 8/23/2007 Status: offline Hey all I am new here.  I have a 2002 disco II and wanted to know what is needed to add the rear defrost, and seat heaters?  I read somewhere that every seat came with the heaters already but just not the buttons?? Doesn't sound right does it??  Thanks for the help.. Post #: 1

As for a rear defroster, big bucks, wiring relays switches and a new rear window along with a fair amount of labor is required to do the rear defroster. _____________________________ Mike Retired service manager.

I bought the switch kit from Atlantic British. No heat comes from the seats. I pulled the leather from the lower seat there is no element. Rovers North sells elements for $32.59 for the bottom each and $46.55 for the back each. It looks like a big job getting them in there. So I don't think I will not put them in.   Willie (in reply to hollis) Post #: 7
