Defrosting the car

[MikeF]

I keep seeing videos of people with electric motors ... You can switch the climate control on from an app on your phone 10mins before your due to go out of the house... Car nice and toasty and windows defrosted...

My neighbour has a Tesla and does this, the bastard.

Think I’m gonna brick his windows just for the sheer audacity

I have heated front window but it still takes 10 mins to defrost
I must be doing something wrong

I am up at the crack too mate. But I just go out and start the van before having a slurp of tea.
I got some of that Demon Ice stuff last winter, but haven't tried it yet.
I will give it a go and let you know.

I tried that once, by the time I finished my tea it was a lovely warm van, only trouble was some little toe rag was driving it & I never saw it again :-(

We have a Ford with a heated front window. Brilliant in this weather.

Also have a vw and the door locks freeze up. You either can't get in or can get in and then the door won't shut. Schizer

Same here, B max. Get in and hit 'max' button and everything inc heated screens fires up.
Otherwise i use hot water.
Saying that, i got in mine yesterday to do schoo' run and the fucker wouldn't start.

Car nicked off drive with engine running - no insurance pay out.

Put dog in mine whilst its heating up.

heated windscreen (never understood why they don’t all have a heated front screen as well as rear)

I think that was a Ford innovation that they won't share with other manufacturers - imagine if Volvo had the same thoughts about the 3 point seat belt that they developed?

Jesus, just reading the thread title is making me shiver!! Down to 18 degrees here today, might need a long sleeved T-shirt tonight.

Best thing about my car, climate control from the app! All ice free and toasty when I get to the car!

Set it on fire, will clear the windscreen in no time and you could always get a new car with the insurance money.
