I have carried out a couple of distraction procedures in my time.

Just how reliable are these 'Quickclear' windscreens, I must admit I'm !Removed! annoyed! I bought a new Fiesta in 2002. The first winter I used it about 10 times and it was OK. The following winter when I put it on it only worked across a third of the windscreen. I had it replaced under warranty but didn't use need to use it for a couple of years as I'd got a company van to drive. When I did eventually use it there were sections all across the screen that weren't working. I didn't bother having it replaced again.

I bought a new Fiesta in March 2012 and, on the second time I used it, there was a narrow section on the passenger side that wasn't working.

I'd asked the salesman when I bought it about these windscreens and he told me they never had any problems with them. I just wondered if they were all faulty - you'd think, after 26 years, Ford would have got them right. :angry:

How did you change your writing to blue? Lol and yeah I think all heated windscreens tend to go the same way it was the same on the corsa I had aswel.

To change the text to blue click on the toggle switch on the top left-hand corner of the formatting toolbar.

Im very impressed with myn I had thick frost and snow on my car this morning and it took about 60 seconds to clear the hole screen. no patchiness apart from a strip down the centre but it is ment to be like that.

Please don't, it makes the posts a bugger to read on a phone screen.

Blue on a black background is a horror. :D

Very true.

The colour can't be changed on a phone but the colour as set on the full site is carried over to the mobile site.

If the automatic colour tab is selected on the website then it comes out white on black on the mobile site.

If it's set to black then I just see a blank post.

Gripe over :D

I think your windscreen has to be damages either chipped badly or cracked

Cracked - for example by pouring boiler water on it when it's frozen as the heating elements don't work? :rolleyes:
