Andy, Ade - heated washers, heated water bottle and hoses were an option not a standard fitment in this country I am sure - perhaps they were standard in Scandinavian countries?
The quality Merc screen wash and antifreeze solution (they are two seperate items in different bottles and you need both) contain additives which help lessen the effects of the hard water found (especially) in the south of England.
This will help top keep the washer jets/heating element free from scale build up.

AFAIK, my heated door mirrors only come on with the rear screen demister.. Will have a poke round at the weekend as I need to check the sensor to the screen wash anyway..
At least the new OVP seems to be holding up..

I suspect that the heated mirrors come on with the ignition whether or not they are needed.
as far as i know , this is the case.

Happy to stand corrected, the only basis for my assumption was the first time I realised that I had heated mirrors was one cold wet morning a while back. When I switched on the rear heated screen, the mirrors started to steam.
I imagine it would say something in the handbook, if I could ever remember to check it..

add to that atmospheric temperature and windchill, and you have a frozen screen
