A functioning demister is a roadworthy requirement. You can remove your heater, but you need a demist function of some description.

thats true but name one inspector that checks if the demister works

just leave the lines going to the firewall and block off or loop them inside under the dash, that way it looks like it works from the engine bay

Had a old Toyota Stout that I got a roadworthy for.One of the isues was the demister.It worked,only just.One point that was raised.If you have quarter windows that open they the act as a demister and the problem is resolved.Sp there is at least one place that does check the demister.

Hot rod shops have small electric heaters available for rego/roadworthe/ADR compliance (6" cubed IIRC). Give them a call...

Come live in Canberra, you won't even be having this discussion !!!!!
In fact it might be more along the lines of how to soup up your heater :)
