Has anybody got any tips on replacing a rear heated screen? The heating elements have failed on my existing one and my efforts with conductive paint have failed too. I've now picked up a new screen and it was my intention to wander down to Autoglass and ask them to fit it. However, they've quoted me more than £120

If it is the same as a 2002 Defender it is a piece of cake, I had the old one off and the new one in in under 20 mins. Apart from removing the door card there were no tools required. Just a strong pair of thumbs, I was amazed as to how easy it was. I just pushed the rubber out from the inside, very simple quick job, never worth £120

Two of the upper elements on mine have gone - is it a warranty job as the LR is still under warranty? Euro-Leafing to infinity and beyond.....

Yes. Had that same problem twice and each time was replaced under warranty without discussion. This is a very well known sore to Land Rover, and they now have made a modified glass which should be less prone to that problem. You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Thanks Taffrican, that's what I was hoping. I couldn't see £120 in it either. If they'd said £25 I would have happily paid to save me the bother ![]() 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing?

LRA - It's the same with me and my EGR I was quoted £180 to fit it only exc the EGR it's self making the total £337! So I have bought the EGR myself (cheaper anyway) bought the tools needed to do so (Only a Torque wrench really) and this all in has cost me £140 all in and half hour of work. Quite a saving wouldn't you say. _\Hennessey|Venom| F5/___
