Any idea where I start looking please?
I'm bloody hopeless with electrics.
On the plus side,,, I have a voltmeter, and I ain't afraid to use it :

Re: rear demister not working.
Check the relay - it's under the drivers side dashboard to the right of the steering column.
I guess you checked fuses etc.?

Re: rear demister not working.
Maybe a bit of a pattern emerging here?
If you've got no power to the hrw or either door mirror heater with the relay closed, I'd be checking fuse 'c' on the outside of the BSI and MF5 in the engine fusebox.
If the relay's dropping out on its own, this could indicate a problem with the relay, (which I reckon is R5 in the BSI), or the PCB.
It's meant to drop out after 10 minutes, but as far as I know the timing is another BSI function.

Re: rear demister not working.
Ah yes, BSI... When I fitted the fog-light capability to my D8, I just had to put a new relay in but with the D9, it will be different.

Re: rear demister not working.
Well I checked the relevant fuses and all's OK there.
I can see the relay in between the bank of 6 fuses under the steering wheel column, but don't know how to remove it or check it. Any ideas please guys?
