Hi (Jem?) Mine is (diesel). The screen seems to have a greasy coating inside which won't wipe off, I've tried various cleaners on it which seem to help ...
Yes... mine is just as bad. One can have the heater to bits and make sure all the air goes to the window demist, but its always going to be slow. One can get...
