Answers on a postcard...
Just a theory.... (see earlier Mondeo comment where only the TDCis had auto heated screens). Diesels take longer to deliver warm air to the screen from cold (being so efficient and all that) so might be thought to need alternative demisting ? Also they (supposedly) have higher rated batteries and so can take the current drain.... Like I said, just a theory.
