Heated washer jets are simply to stop the nozzles freezing - its not to provide water warm enough to de-ice the screen!

My nozzles have never frozen so I presume they work. Mirrors are hot to the touch at all times, and are excellent - even if its not cold, they steam rain water off which is brilliant. 40 quid is nothing... they should be standard. To NOT have these would be stupid!
