SDV6 Engine Pre-heater

I have one - I can see it - but how do I know if it's doing anything?

I have a commercial so no fob/dash menu for it but should it come on automatically and how do I know if it is working?

Just tried it. It's -2 outside, engine cold - nothing from the pre-heater at all after two minutes idling.

Just tried it again, this time I put the air con on max and it came on. No smoke though, must be a very clean burner! Could feel it blowing from it's little exhaust in the wheel arch, and it stayed on for a couple of minutes after switching off the engine.

I think my distrust stems from owning landrovers for too long!!

Not really... it's the most unreliable piece of cr*p, failed expensively in both my LRs. Useless.
