I'll try it a different way when I go home tonight and see if the FBH does fire up when the door is kept closed.
Anyone know anything that would confirm or contradict this, or is my FBH just simply not working?

Dex - I do the same. Open the door, foot on the brake and start the car. I then usually hit the "Max" button to get things going.
Having the door open when starting doesn't prevent the FBH from firing up.
I then go back into the house for a while until it's all warm and cosy. Not worried about the car being nicked as we're in the middle of nowhere...... 14 Disco 4 HSE
