I think there was a 'Winter Pack' option - but that may have just been a fold away screen cover

Phew i'm glad you said cover what with range rovers and fold away screens i thought i'd been transported to a landy web site ;D
Can't believe german technology over looked a heated w/screen.
I've heard you can get a kit for a VW beetle but is this just to stop misting rather than ice melting.
Still gives me a chance to speak to those elusive nieghbours while we are all scraping

Yeah special thing wee fords they have heated windscreens, thats why you pay the extra money, cheaper with the 99p scraper or the de-icer at 1.50 :y

As much as the heated screens help, I could not tolerate driving one
I can't see past the wires, even when they are turned off.
Must be sensitive to that kind of thing
I cant use Trinitron type monitors either, I see the wires holding the screen on.

I think there bloody awful and in reality pretty pointless.

1) they act as a grating and are terrible when the sun is low

2) They might clear the screen but, what about the side windows....there are already to many tosser drivers with side windows that you cant see through.....
