I see I'm going to enjoy this forum, what a bl##dy nice bunch of blokes you folk are !

I must say that when I drove my friends beast yesterday I was in absolute awe of the quality of ride across a huge mix of different terrain, had a spot of bother when I got out the beast and did a spot of freefalling - forgot the height of the car in off road mode and duly fell on my a#se. My little beast - RRSport TDV6 due May 06, Buck Blue&Alpaca

I have a couple of thoughts about the heated windscreen. First, I get a bit of refraction at night with on coming headlights and wearing contacts, but its not much to bother about. Invisible to me in the daytime.

Secondly, I used it once when I was parked outside during an ice storm. It worked quite well and quickly (like less than a minute).

and Finally, I had a fairly big stone strike my windscreen the other day on the highway, and it left no discernible mark. I speculate that the windscreen is thicker or more durable than that flimsy BMW X5 windscreen I used to own.

USAGivGrn.............. as you might have noticed Land Rover don't make any attempt to reduce the weight of the wagon........ when you have a car that already weights in at 2.5tonnes, what is another couple of pounds of glass! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

In this case, it is a couple of pounds well spent as I imagine the cost of windscreen replacement is considerable. Personally, I like a heavy car--it makes me feel at one with the earth.
