Now I have a beefy(er) altenator, I can use more than one electric thing at a time. Lights, wipers and heater fan all at once is just luxury.
Somewhere I have seen mention of heated front screens, was there ever such a thing and are they available today ? I guess they would reduce the battle to de-mist, vent the car and stay warm all at the same time.
I really want to get the car a bit more winter friendly.

I may be wrong, but I seem to remember that there was once a batch made as a group purchase, cant find the thread

Actually I think it was for 3000M screens here

Mike bigland has got one in his Taimar, along with some fancy electronics to switch between front and rear screen to not put too big a load on the alternator.

There was a company on ebay selling them, for somewhere around £175, possibly a company in Birmingham, can't seem to find any on there atm.

Seconded

I got one from them a few years ago for my Grantura but it was rather more than £175 - IIRC about £350 delivered

I bought 3 a little over 2 years ago, cost around £350 each. Collection rather than delivered would have been quite a bit cheaper. £65 a screen?

For info, I now have a quote from Uroglass

Two options available for heated front screen
Clear glass - £239 + vat + £65 uk del. - stock
Green tint and blue band - £361 + vat + £65 uk del. - 8 week

My current screen is stamped - Triplex, FoMoCo, Zone toughened, I guess that puts a fair age on it, so perhaps time for a change. Just trying to convince myself to have the tinted version.
