My screen heater works fine in cold weather just like this morning, but the heater just doesn't get hot enough.

I thought someone in the past had removed the thermostat but without opening it up I'm not sure and don't really want to get involved with just looking for faults that might not be there.

Has anybody else got this problem of ineficient heater, and is there anything I can do about it.

Yes. Use the search engine to read about the auxiliary heater - there is loads of information about it.

You should see an iced screen start thawing within 30sec - 1 min of switching on the heated screen. It switches off automatically after 4 minutes. For technical reasons the blower of the passenger compartment heater is switched off when the windscreen heating is switched on, apparently.
