I've no idea why it shouldn't be just going to work either. They'll try any loophole not to pay out when you try to claim.
Absolutely solid and work amazingly 
Just a small couple of bits removed from the grill underneath and out if sight.
No holes in my bumper, all painted and fitted.

Like the dog.
Will they pass the CT? They look like they are unfocused so they should p1ss off oncoming traffic nicely

That's what I did earlier in the year, ironically for a funeral.
None of our cars are ulez compliant, so took the one that was comfiest and the biggest finger up to the system.
Agreed, for £12.50 might as well have the biggest baddest engine available !!
They should instantaneously cook any rabbits in the way.
Might as well get the biggest bang for your buck, so to speak. For the free time i need to come to lunnun in the car, it's cheaper to pay a few £12.50 than it is to buy a new car
I'm not sure about the CT tbh, I may put them on a switch so they are independent with warning light if they are an issue with the CT inspectorLike the dog.

I was on the same "cheaper to pay" option for a while, especially as for my once a week trip, the cost was shared with my mate.
But recently Wife's FL1 blew a core plug, and daughters Corse failed head gasket on same weekend !! So bought a cheap run-around which we still got. . . . .a little 2004 Merc C180 Coupe Auto for £850 . . . and it's ULEZ compliant. So now we share it as the "spare" car.
Just need an "Up Your's Kh@n" sticker for the rear window.

Stripped all the plastic stuff off ready for the new windscreen to be fitted tomorrow (between 8 and 11am they say) left the top trim on though as reading around it seems they often come with a new top trim supplied? While everything was off I did a continuity test on both sides of the heated screen and got nothing.
I'm no expert but that surely means that the elements have broken somewhere on both sides? Explains why it stopped working last winter.

dont hold your breath!!
individual strands can fail but the rest should work, it just means the screen will have lines that dont demist immediately

You may recall? Might have been last winter or the one before, my heated screen stopped working, both sides at the same time, just instant really, all the signs, to me anyway, as an electrical failure, ie- fuse or relay sort of issue. It was later in the year when it was dry and warm that I investigated further as it involves stripping off all the stuff I've just stripped off today, to access the two screen connections and the earth stud. I had power testing there, both sides but forgot to do a continuany test for the elements themselves, only remembering after I had reassembled stuff. Had to remake the earth stud as that snapped off.
I then thought maybe I had a dodgy cable with broken strands or something so I purchased a dc clamp meter which I can't remember what the results of that test were but they were nothing like I should have seen and I think the clamp was faulty and gave up after that. It's hard to motivate yourself to diagnose a heated screen when the sun is burning your skin off

There's 2 relays.. one for each side. I think the power from the drivers side energises the passenger side so if you pull the drivers relay, neither will work. Probably a fuse for each side too with the same net resultYou may recall?

Never found the need for a heated screen except when I was in Canada, just one narrow strip operates on the passenger side of mine. I wont be replacing it.You may recall?
