Had mine done back last year and it increased the run time by about 10 minutes a great improvement

Hi Robbie,
Couples of questions if you don't mind.
What year is your Disco?
When was it serviced?
What is the total run time now.
Many thanks
Mark

DG very kindly posted the TOPIx TECHNICAL BULLETIN LTB00527 20 FEB 2013 a few pages ago.
I noticed on TOPIx that there is now a V2. Can anyone who has access to it give me an idea of what the difference is between the old and new version?
Thanks in advance
[EDIT] I've answered my own question. It was issued due to changes in the SDD information, and they've also seemed to have fixed it from VIN DA667869 onwards.D4 MY14 XXV - RLD/IID BT
D4 MY13 HSE Lux - RLD/IID BT
P38 RR - Sad parting
110 - Even sadder parting

This thread has been fascinating! I have a late 2012 HSE. My FFBH is dated October 12 but I don't have the valve. I started reading the thread having used my touch screen to program a one off heat for this morning, which worked ok, but it wasnt that cold at 11degc. My questions are: is the valve easy to fit and make work? And having only had the car a few weeks is there any easy way of telling if the LTB has been done? Maybe a dealer can check my vin?

I have been following this thread with some interest too. I have a MY14 with fbh enabled (thanks Wiggs ) but no valve. I have priced the parts to install but would be interested to know anyone has done this already or if anyone has workshop manuals of the cooling system to see how involved it is.

Thanks Robbie, it's the view from the opposite side I could really do with to see where the pipes run from the valve downwards. When I've looked at an image from the part number there is a load of pipework that I'm not sure if I have some of it already. Wiggs kindly let me have a look at the pipe routing on his but we couldn't see where it ran underneath. It may gave to be a case of suck and see!!
