Rear heater element.

fairly easy to replace the rear window £40 ish, I put a new one in when i replaced my rear door

I think that "no longer made" means one or more of the following We dont stock it I cant find it on the computer Go away cant you see I am busy texting my girlfriend/ mates.

Try going to a proper Motor Factors and asking there.

True. It could have been an old fashion fob off. Would a replacement element be quicker.

Yes but equally as vulnerable. where as a tude of the stuff would repair it twice... I think.

Landrover main agent told me that a pannel on our 1990 Rangie was no longer available... local non franchised dealer managed to sell me a landrover badged one though. I guess it's a matter of knowing where to look.

Hold the fort lads. I have just managed to get some silver paste from maplin electronics. So I will give this a try.

From my experiences with Halford's 'Heated Rear Window Repair' (small bottle of same in front of me now):

[1a] SCRUPULOUS cleaning of area to be repaired [1b] Warm the repair area to prevent your steamy breath condensing thereon [2] Very careful application of guide tape either side of proposed paint area [3] Cure it with hairdryer/low heat hot air gun [4] Wait as long as you can before trying it [5] Wait some more!

Have used it to successfully repair the HRW in my RRC - pretty important as the tiniest break seems to affect the 'aerial in HRW' setup.

That would explain why it wasn't a success when I tried it. Trouble is excitable dog with large claws will destroy it again as fast as I replace it.

How about a bit of thin perspex or other protective film inside? Or some children's slippers for the dogs? Ones with pictures of cats on would provide endless entertainment.

sheet of mesh?

Hmm, hard to form into a slipper shape and the cat pictures might come off!

I was thinking more of having Postman Pat pictures. He would love them.
