I seem to get a lot of condensation inside the car on frosty days, I know you will get a bit but I get a lot, is this normal ?
frosty today and windscreen covered in condensation, rear view mirror covered, and my clocks also where covered to the point I could hardly see the dials, this seems a bit excessive, is this normal or do you reckon I have a leak, at high speed I don't hear any leaks but scratching my head with this

Could be moisture in your car somewhere

Get a dehumidifier (the type in a plastic tub with little balls) and leave it in your car

thanks for that, is this normal though, should I be getting this amount of condensation on frosty mornings, is it just the car design ?

I think it's not unusual Scott. Mines always been pretty bad like this in cold weather. I recently bought a kind of bag on amazon that is supposed to absorb moisture. Haven't had it long enough to assess how good it is yet. Gets good reviews though. I'll post you a link when I get on my proper computer tomorrow.

Are you running the system in Auto or Auto/ECO mode? The latter should clear up the mist.

....And next time you're in a Supermarket and the girl on the til is fit, ask her if you can have a bag shag.

No, don't! A friend of mine works in Waitrose and says that male customers are trying to chat her up far too often and it's a real drag. [No, not me!]
