Oh crap - another thing I have to look out for

Tuning is going well though

Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

Well it's finally gone in to get these sorted, along with a few other things, trying out Lookers Park Royal, lets see what happens.

2009 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Stornoway Grey

Had my rear screen replaced under warranty a couple of weeks ago. All seems fine

The dealer, Hunter's of Chester, immediately agreed to replace it without reference to LR. I suspect the dealers have been pre-warned about this problem.

I can't check whether I have the new screen or not just now, it's at the dealers having some warranty work done

Just heard from Lookers, Land Rover have agreed to replace both front and rear screens, so far very impressed with the service I am getting from Lookers Park Royal.

Both my Pumas had / have a line that didn't clear down the centre of the windscreen - I thought this was just the way the screen is split into two elements. Anyone else have this?

Yes mine has a misty line down the middle, also thought it was normal...maybe not then

And mine, ever since it was new ... and Bro-in-law's.

Must be normal, too many the same for it to be faulty

Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant.

This is the problem:

The rubber eat the heater element!!!!

After my first replacement I done same "canal" on the rubber and, now after 2 years, all elements are still working.

Click image to enlarge

but newest rear screen has modified.

For the front one there is no elements on the centre of the screen (you can see it seeing closer the glass).
