Hi all

I've been (reluctantly) driving my 33 around for the last few days as my bloody 145 is busted again and I've noticed that I have to have the heated rear window on most of the time. I don't think I have any water leaks anywhere and it all feels dry and there isn't a heavy condensation, but there is some nethertheless. Any ideas??

Cheers

Rich

Does the boot area feel dry too?
Maybe you're just a heavy breather. Wink

Hi

Not using water are you? Failing heater matrix can cause steamy windows.

All the best

There is a product from RainX that you put on the inside of your windows.... stops 'em steaming up for a few weeks. Flammable though - so not a good idea if you smoke! Laughing

Yes Keith, car has been using a bit of water lately but hadn't been used for ages. Now the car is in daily use the steaming up seems to have almost disappeared. Theres a moral to that story, use my car more!! (don't like using it in all this snow and salt though but no choice, 145 still busted!!)

Well, our 155 didn't like the snow. Snapped the cam belt.

Ooops.

All the best
