One morning I though the front screen wasn't working as it took a long time to defrost but on a light frost it worked fairly quick, door mirrors work fine and clear very quick to clear as does rear screen.

oh ok that explains the side rear windows then, I saw what I thought was a heater element but as you say, it's actually an antenna, good to know.

@ Craig, when did they change then? Are you saying the facelift 06> are now switch fed and not on all the time....seem to be a backward step imo. If it dont work.......burn it!
