on my way to work this morning,aux heater must have kicked in thought car was on fire is there supposed to be that much smoke

Maybe just a combination of stale fuel sat in the heater and where it hasn't been run for a while? 2003 BMW M5 - 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

Not hugely unusual; it has been know for the Fire Brigade to have been called out to a smokey FBH before!  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK
2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 Auto HSE Zambezi Silver

Sometimes if they haven't been used for a long time the FBH will also spit a lump of unburned oily soot out onto your drive too. I have had this happen twice, once with an L320 RRS and once with an L322 FFRR, both were TDv8's but I don't think that it is restricted to that engine. Once it had "marked it's territory" there was a cloud of smoke from the front wheel arch for a couple of minutes and then all was fine. This has caused alarm to owners of Freelanders, Disco's,RRS's and FFRR's since about 2001 when the FBH was fitted for reducing cold weather warm up time and to aid emissions reduction on cold mornings 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

is there any way off making it turn on or do i have to wait until outside temp drops

You can buy an external controller, such as a Webasto oval timer, or BAS do a remote kit

Can a Webasto dealer fit the bits to enable remote operation? What's involved? Visitor from fullfatrr.com
