Depends on the car that^ though some require hefty dash/centre console removal.
mechanic has stated £100 fitting as steering console has to come out.
If you can park the car near your house, stick a fan heater on the back seat 10 minutes before driving the car. That will demist it for long enough to get the engine warm, after which the natural draft from forward motion may be enough to keep the screen clear.
going to do this as a matter of course maybe, but i spose its for the times when she’s away from the house or it steams up whilst driving, or having parked it for a few hours away from home when its icy, that sort of thing. cant rely on it never misting/icing up away from home.
Probably because they’re only 100-200w whereas a normal fan heater is more like 2000.
thanks, good to see real world figures that show why theyre so crap then.

did this a year or so ago when it first started playing up, this was to change the resistor card IIRC. so……. it maybe might not be too difficult to do. ill sound the mechanic out and see if he fancies a bash at it this way to save a bit of time (and money)
thanks
