• Electric gadgets on cars - they're great! 2 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  A car going faster comes up behind, but his headlights don't dazzle me thanks to my auto-dimming rear view mirror. There's some road dirt on the windscreen, no problem, my heated washer jets make sure I can clean the screen effectively.
• Vauxhaull Corsa Turbo - Windscreen Heater Screeching 3 Dec 2020 (Forum)
  When the car is particularly cold at start up (less than 5C outside) as soon as i put the heated windscreen on there's a really loud screeching for about 30 seconds then it tapers off. It's only 2 years old and still in warranty so it was checked out last year but at the time I thought it was the heater and they couldn't find anything wrong.

• Lexus IS250/220D (2005 - ) - Windscreen Replacement 1 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  Hiya, on Friday I noticed a crack in my windscreen so called my insurance company's 24hr windscreen hotline, which is in fact the switchboard for a well known windscreen replacement company. I mentioned to the operator that I had a heating element at the bottom of the windscreen that defrosts the wipers to stop them getting stuck to the glass and she said that this feature was already noted on their database for my model of car.

• Volkswagen Golf V (2004 - 2008) - 04 1.4 Front windscreen wipers failure 29 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  Front windscreen wipers stopped working today. The water still sprays and the rear windscreen wiper is still working. Rang VW dealer and was quoted £49 to run diagnosis machine before any work is done. I've tried doing a bit of research and some sites suggest it could be the fuse, others say it could be the motor, but i wouldn't know how to check either.

• Use of fogs - question replied to by Honest John 16 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  You MUST switch them off when visibility improves. When it's raining, approaching a car with its front fog lights on can dazzle you, but the effect is far worse coming up behind a car with its rear fog(s) on, even when it's dry - at worst, you can be nearly blinded, especially if your windscreen hasn't been cleaned for a while, and/or you have a heated windscreen with its fine wire element showing (until recently basically Fords, soon to be more widespread I believe).
