forgot about the heatshot, let us know how it goes and what you think  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I can see the benefits but if you come out on a very cold icy morning, how would it clear iced nozzles if the hot water cannot pump because of a few cm's of iced piping ahead of it

I assume that neat fluid should never freeze.

They had pictures of it installed on a freelander 2 on their laptop they had at the show with them, there is a mettle bar just above where the left hand engine mount is that they mounted it too, looks simple enough...

Price was £150, which given that you can get them on ebay for £100 is too much... But it was an impulse buy, so didn't do research like I normally would of done....

Time will tell how good it is...

Taz's comment below is much more accurate and nicer

Everything freezes at absolute zero, doesnt it?

Its never been proven as its never been reached, some have come within nth's of absolute zero but there is still motion within the atoms, otherwise it will violate the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which states that we cannot know the position and momentum of a particle simultaneously. At 0 K, it will simply be at its lowest energy state.

Stick neat fluid in the washers and it shouldn't freeze, if your a polishing nut like me though you will be heartbroken as it strips the polishes and sealers where it streaks across the paint but safety comes before vanity

Heatshot all installed today. Quite straight forward and spent some time routing the cables and tidying up.

Will try and post some pictures tomorrow.

I did mine today too, will see what happens when the nights get colder!

Sorry, it's p***ing with rain at the moment so if it stops later I will get out to take some photos!

Well first morning with an icey screen the day after I fit the heat shot, couldn't ask for anything more!

Worked quite well, compared it to my dads but didn't do timed comparisons as only thought afterwards. The first squirt completely cleared a tear drop shape about 5cm high by 3cm wide. Took a few more squirts and the screen was clear.

My dads first squirt didn't completely clear but made a start on a tear drop about 3cm high by 2cm wide then had to resort to the heated screen as I got board of waiting!

We both use the same screenwash at the same concentration, so there was a noticeable improvement, I will take some pictures / timings one moring...

I'm hoping that will show it's real worth on those cold wintery days when all that salt and crap gets thrown up on the windscreen. This should do a better job of clearing it.

I've posted some pics in my gallery.

Hopefully it's all relatively straightforward.

Nice install, much neater than mine, I took the earth over to the battery aswel as the positive.
