I agree. I can't think of anything else they could do if all they are going to do is disable the PTC heater until the new ones are available.

Ok, here is the drum.

What they do is pull the fuse and disable the PTC heater via testbook (or whatever it is called these days).

It was recommended to me to pull the fuse ASAP if I wished and get in for the disable action when convenient.

I might just pull the fuse(F14, thanks djhampson) and get the rest done at the next service.

Then in my case as my VIN number is in the range of affected vehicles. Should I wait for the letter or take it up to Toowoomba who were keen to do it regardless of the letter?????

No need to wait for the letter but give the dealership a call before you drop in.
If they haven't done so already, they can double check that you need to have this done & so save you a trip if it doesn't need it.

Ok, I popped the bonnet to give this whirl today, the manual said fuse F16 under the bonnet. I removed the top cover and couldn't find F16 Turns out there was another cover that goes down between the fuse box and the air filter, Still no fuses.

Grabbed a torch, and there they are.

I looked on GTR for the fuse location so the fuse I said to remove might be wrong. It may be for a different spec car.

I'd trust your manual and not my post!

Mine seems to be missing so I shouldn't get the recall. Well in LR land anything is possible.

when you do remove the fusabul link (100amp) make shoure that you zip tie it the battery + cable, land rover is coming up with a way to fit it, so put it some were us tecs can see it an get it fixed fast for you when we need to put it back in, just to let you no, there has been no cars that have been on fire from this problem,,
