Yeah both of my mirrors are heated.

So if my washer bottle hasn't got a sensor in it it should be a case of buying the bigger tank and swapping over? Will all the wiring be there to hook it up to?

same as.

just a theory but if you've got the mirror control selected does only that mirror get heated?

i've always thought the if it wasn't in the centre only the rear got heated

thats right mate; has to be on the heater logo for the mirrors to be heated otherwise its just the rear screen

yeah mine doesn't have the heater logo, IIRC its just a line although they are definitely heated as had them one today and yesterday, might replace the switch at some point.

lol ! the line on the mirror (which I assume is the heater element). Like you we have on the rear window.

Do you have them on both mirrors?

the only line on my mirror is on the drivers side for the anti blide spot, the heating element is behind the glass so you don't see the wires (on mine anyway)
