Heated windscreen problems
Has anyone else had such patchy defrosting from their heated screen? I don’t remember it doing this last year, but it’s consistent now, almost like some of the wires aren’t working? Thanks!

Funny I had a similar thing on mine but only 1 wire directly down the middle.
Will have a look again if I get a chance.

We had a similar problem on our Freelander, where only half the screen would defrost. Needed a new windscreen in the end (under warranty mind you).

Maybe it needs a little accidental tap with a rock, thrown up by a passing truck...

Yes, under warranty until September so I’ll be getting them to look at it ASAP. Since the wires are embedded in the glass, I don’t quite see how they can fail like this after 2 years ?!?

So the dealer has confirmed a replacement screen is needed, covered under warranty which is good as it’s £850 otherwise! They’ve never seen this before and are at a loss to explain how it’s happened after 2 years, no damage to the glass at all. Interestingly they don’t fit them themselves, they get a windscreen person in to do it. Booked in for next week.

Stoneacre Sheffield. Bought the car from Clive Brook but that’s a trek and I’ve generally dealt with the Stoneacre service guys since they were at Harratts years ago.
