hi guys am i right in saying the r26 has heated windscreen the back one works ok but the front one don't seem to work . is there a fuze for this.does yours work . i tried it the other morning and it never seemed to do anything any suggestions

i am certainly not aware about any heated screen on a R26,mine doesnt have one.
My focus has one,but you know it has because you can see the element embedded in the windscreen.

Back does but not on the front surely?

 

[musiccube]

the button above the read window heater what is that for . when i turn it on the back heated window comes on also . i did have a look for the element in the window but never seen anything . so what is the button for right above the rear window heater

 

[andrewjeffs]

doesnt it just turn on the aircon full blast to clear the screen.

 

[musiccube]

just looked i think u r right . what about the wing mirrors r they heated

 

[Bradders]

Sure my 225 has it, if i press the button it clears the back window, side mirrors and the windscreen, or atleast it seems too.

None of the Megs have a heated front windscreen. The patent (until recently anyway) for heated front windscreens was owned by Ford (and associated owned companies) during the years that the Meg2 was built so there's no way it has one. Sorry.

It's a great idea and you'd see it on more cars if Ford hadn't bagged the patent so early on.

But seeing the element through the screen is like looking through a net curtain!!
Really off putting at first.

Ha, the early one's looked a bit rough but once you've had one in mid-winter they're sorely missed on other cars. Newer one's look better.

I see they've just started to filter through on to other marques in the last couple of years.

I've always wondered if the wing mirrors are heated
