Hello comrades,
Is anyone interested in a heated windscreen for their 2CV?
Cost is likely to be £150+
Currently getting a quote....

Fantastic idea,
I'll be interested, maybe in more than one - probably also worth contacting ECAS.

Have you asked the technical committee about this? I would say it's a change in design and material.However if it has been ok'ed i would be interested in one too.
5. TECHNICAL REGULATIONS
5.1 Introduction:
The following Technical Regulations are set out in accordance with the MSA specified format and it should be clearly understood that if the following texts do not clearly specify that you can do it you should work on the principle that you can not. For the purposes of these regulations, modification means any change in the design, material, shape, dimension and / or surface finish of any component except for basic manufacturing processes, normal wear and published service or repair procedures. ‘Standard’ is as defined in Citroen manuals MAN108161 and MAN 308162

I recall drawing this up and investigating it myself a few years ago. The defining factor back then was the current required being too high to run off a 'standard' alternator without reliability concerns. If my memory serves me right, i was advised around 30A.  |

OK... so the screens are 300+VAT.. they draw no more than 12 amps... so will be fine with standard electrics..
If anyone wants one can they please get back to me by the end of the week?

I think this nick paton fella must be a builder!
In the space of 5 replies he has managed to get an estimate from £150 to £300.
definitely builder's estimating.

Still hasn't said he's spoken to Richard hollis and it complies with the regs either Wayne. I'm not spending that sort of money on something that will have to be replaced or 40kg of ballast added for non compliance. Especially now the technical inspections are so rigorous.

Why would you buy one when they are not allowed according to this years regs?

Heated windscreens are not mentioned at all, so you should "work on the assumption that you can not"
The only mention of the material in connection with windscreen is: "The windscreen shall be of HPR laminated glass"

I understand that there will be a technical bulletin to allow them on safety grounds, which is their entire purpose. Not being able to see is dangerous; and hanging various fans and other contraptions off the dashboard is also dangerous in a big crash. Please feel free to check with Mervyn or Aubrey.
