I think the elements or 'lines' within the screen break and stop heating up. At least the drivers side still work at the moment

Find a stone chip, call your ins co. Say the chip is stopping the heated screen from working. They will replace the screen for the £50-£70... The lady I spoke to said they always recommend replacement screens on heated screen vehicles rather than resin injection. |

Apparently there are 2 fuses but just a few strands on the left are working plus all the right side so it's not that. Booked it into my local dealer before Christmas and they tell me it needs replacing but it's not covered under warranty. Cost is nearly £700 so I phoned the supplying dealer who very helpfully suggested I call LR warranty, who advise me it is covered. How does that happen! Anyway, the news is more positive. |

In case it helps anyone else - although glass is excluded from the LR extended/used warranty it is an electrical fault with the windscreen itself and therefore covered. My local independant dealer has now been authorised to replace tomorrow I understand even though my local main agent told me is wasn't covered by warranty |

I used mine the other day for the first time, and sod's law says it's the drivers half the doesn't clear, so can anyone point me towards which fuses the screen uses? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

I am certainly no expert but I have been told by two dealers that the screen has 2 fuses |
