Alhambra Se V Galaxy Ghia

[Ivor]

OK, My Alhambra is 'W' reg, July 2000, MkII SE

 

Programmable aux. heater

 

I knew someone out there had one of these....do you use it ?

 

I most certainly do.

 

I forgot to set it last night so I was iced up this morning. No problem, as there is also an "instant on" button, so I went out, pressed it, when back in, had breakfast, then drove off fully defrosted :lol: and no worries about it being stolen.

 

It's a must have for my next car.

fully defrosted? :(

I thought it just heated up the coolant, how can this defrost the windscreen? or does it run the inside fan the as well?

Yes, it controls the climate control which displays "HE", the usual fans blow warm air around, and defrosts all the windows.

how long does it take for all the frost to melt (on average)?

[Ivor]

8-10 mins

 

It runs for 20 mins
