Regulation 98 of the aforementioned Construction and Use Regs requires "that the driver of a vechile when stationary shall stop the action of any machinery attached to or forming part of the vehicle so far as may be necessary for the prevention of noise or exhaust emissions.
There are some exceptions, one of which is:
where it is necessary to examine machinery following its failure or derangement, or where it is required to be worked for a purpose other than driving the vehicle
Is defrosting included under this? If not then it's illegal to run the engine for that purpose..
