Any help with any of these issues would be appreciated. 8-)

have you looked where the wiring passes from the door to the body  XJ's tend to get brakes in the wiring there

 :iagree: The loom from the door into the main body is a known weak point on XJs and ZJs. Failure there can cause some really strange faults. Don't think that the rear screen heater would be affected by that though. Look at the connection on the glass. If it looks flaky then some silver paint from Maplins should sort it.

I'll have a look at the wiring harness. Admittedly I did have to replace the speaker wire in there years ago, back when the XJ was still my Dad's.
Anyone know what bulb for the sidelight? It's the one thing remaining for its MOT!

Pretty sure it's the type with the flat push in fitting, same as side light

The sidelight is a bayonet fitting bulb. Can't remember the number unfortunately.

Cheers, I could just take the good one out to inspect, but it's cold and I'm lazy!
