OOPS I haven't used Fahrenheit much/at all in the last 50 years and google dropped the negative sign off the front. 25F is -3.888889. Celcius is so much easier to understand. But that is a can of worms we shouldn't open here.

Old Defenders had a heated front windscreen.
Who was this?
Seems odd to then have two items doing exactly the same thing; and what does the rear do ~ is that also a demister or an electrically heated element?
Not really expensive with my LR Defender and quite easy to fit. Even if you wish to replace your standard windscreen it will not cost more than 300£ and a afternoons work.
Yes my Defender 2.2tdci had it and very useful it was to
I suspect the zone symbol for the windscreen will simply direct the air-con to the windscreen. The front window heating button when pushed will direct the air con to the front window and put the fan on max power to clear the front windscreen as quickly as possible. The rear window button will operate the electric element in the rear window. This is the same as I’ve seen in VW, BMW and Mini.
The grenadier doesn't have a FHW, it is not identified in the order confirmation unlike the HRW and heated washers. I suspect that this is a latent patent issue. Ford owed the patent for the HFW and as a consequence all brands owned or previously owned by Ford have HFWs. Hence BMW, FIat, and Mini didn't.Is it certain that the Grenadier will not have a heated front windscreen and if not what is making it so expensive to insure and in some cases uninsurable? On my insurance quote from Adrian Flux windscreen cover was not available option and on my quote from LV ,windscreen excess was £20 for repair and £190 excess for windscreen replacement. Any ideas folks
What’s making so expensive to insure I wonder
I got given hell on instagram once for posting about a balmy -40 morning in Ontario b/c I didn’t specify Fahrenheit or Celsius. Of course most internet word warriors hadn’t ever bothered to look up the conversion for -40 C. . .

Hi.
Did we advise you that you had no windscreen cover on our quotation? Was your quotation not based on Comprehensive cover?
Regards.
On my qoute it says windscreen cover not available. Photo attached
Ha! This is the only temperature in C that means anything to me! Some day, perhaps after the apocalypse, we will switch to the metric system in the U.S. - but I'm skeptical. We might need an event more dramatic than that to change
Because it is new with no risk/repair cost/driver data to base a price on, therefore they will default to a higher insurance group. Since I believe that you are Scotland based I would call in, in person to your local NFU office. Okay if that's not local phone the local NFU ( not the call centre number) Just because it is cheapest doesn't mean it's the best. You only find that out when you make a claim. I have to declare a conflict of interest
Thank you. Im actually I’m based in south of England. I will contact NFU also
