It will only fail again. Aircon on will demist it in no time.

The heated screen is not really for demisting.

for de-icing really

60 seconds to de-ice mine when frozen solid

Faster then the conventional blower

Amazing how many cars even today don't have heated windscreens !

Could that be because they are expensive and unreliable?
You have a fuel burning heater, it should de-ice in no time with the car heater.
A heated screen is only needed IMO in places like Canada where it can regularly get to minus 30C with falling snow, heated wipers and washer fluid are also useful in those conditions:)

Could be ?

Mines original, after 11 years it's still working fine

FBH still takes 5 mins for the heat to come through
So in the meantime the heated screen does its job

Not if you programme it to come on before you go out or use the remote.
If yours is still working after 11 years it's unusual. I had a fleet of Fords, the heated screens rarely outlasted the warranty. We never had them replaced as replacing the screen often led to leaks.
 
Very pricey windscreen lol the elements do break and certain areas don't clear as a result! This is classed as wear and tear so make sure u pick up a chip that cracks b4 u call ur insurance ;) it's the way to go tho, new windscreen which at our place has a 5 year guarantee against anything other than it getting broken
