How long have you given it? Mine take quite a while until heat is noticeable.

Of course you could have the 'ejector seat' seat option which works by pushing the switch 3 times in quick succession. In conjunction with explosive charges flipping the targa panel off, this then offloads undesirables from the cabin area.

I don't have heated seats in my chim but I thought the way of turnning them on was twiddling / pressing the heater knob, not a button on the steering wheel???

Do you have heater wires for both seats?

I was convienced I had heated seats on one of my old cars. It wasn't until I removed the seat I realised the wires going into it were actually a pressure pad to make the seatbelt warning light work

I have wires into both seats,also a button at the back of the ignition.

Maybe the relay under the dash top, your handbook should state which fuse location.

The switches have been put in a few locations I think

Nope, ubiquitous TVR black button on the steering column, behind the ignition switch.

I stand corrected

Early cars did have a pull/push heater blower knob that switched the seats on. Its quite a rare switch to get hold of though..

Although I've got heated seats, my handbook doesn't mention them. The dealer I bought the car off didn't advertise them as fitted either - I don't think he knew.

I only found out when I noticed the switch at the back of the steering column cowling & pushed it one day to see what it did. Nothing appeared to happen. It was only when I realised my gonads and the 'hole' of my ass was roasting that it suddenly dawned on me............

I've been nice & cosy ever since.
