That's what the lad replacing it said too. I ended up getting the windshield for peanuts (€100) because he ordered this in and put it into another Focus with a heated screen and a week later the owner realised the heating doesn't work so he pulled it out again.

I dunno why mine doesn't have the heating though. It must have been an optional extra?

Must have been with the mk2. They cost a nice bit more I believe.

Makes no difference to me. If the windscreen gets covered in ice I usually just drive with my head out the window wearing a balaclava :rolleyes:

Thought they all were heated.

The mk2.5 is heated :P

So did I. My one had it and it was low spec. Handy to have but I never really missed it I just use de-icer. Buy a big can at the start of winter and that keeps me going. Start the car have it heating up get the de-icer spray it on the front and side windows get in the car and go.

Would you pass the NCT if your car does not start and turn off in the normal way. You see I have the ignition all taking apart. You stick the original key with transponder chip into the key hole as normal but you then reach under the steering wheel and use a flat head screw driver or another key to turn the ignition to start or turn off car. Would that be a fail? And I do not want to spend money on it as it is a 1998 e39 and don't know if it will even pass the next nct on other things not just the key barrel being broken.

Amazing car, I would love to own one. It's a pity they can be seen diffing around cones mostly like the AE86s...

Thanked and un-thanked that post... just so I could thank it again.

Fanboi-ism aside, you just don't see cars of that vintage in that good condition these days

Lately around this place if it's not a BMW it's a ford :pac:

Ah no serious looking car infairness in an unbelievable condition.

Was having a look in Charles Hurst's in Citywest during the week. Someone did serious "damage" with a machine polisher on quite a few cars in there. I was very surprised.

A therapeutic evening was spent driving round paradoxical southside Dublin talking sh*te and having the craic. I feel much better after that

Watching half a town blackout as you drive in the miserable rain by is mesmerising, like the start to a horror film
