Windscreen on my 4200CC is constantly misting no matter how hard I push the air through to the windscreen, it never really goes away, luckily its on the passenger side as it extends to the top of the screen a lot of the time.
Probably a problem with the angle of the air but has anybody else experienced this ?

Hey Doger, are you loosing much radiator fluid? Could be the heater core has a tiny leak in it (which would only get worse if it is that as it rusts a larger hole). I'm not sure how the heater core works in the massas but in other cars it is a pretty common issue on various ages in cars, some cars fog up, some have a very wet floor ect....

Hey kujotk, fancy meeting you here.:)

Funny you should say that as the passenger floor was wet at one stage and Zagames fixed it, I never knew what the problem was but it may be related to this, thanks for the info

Hi Aussie

Aussie - I have no maser experience as yet so this may not apply - see my post - but I had a XJS with exactly the same problem and the cause was the drain of the air intake at the base of the window getting blocked with leaf litter and the air having to pass over this water caused the problem - 2 mins with a piece of wire coathanger gave a cure

Thanks Colin, I'll have a poke around if the AC button doesnt do the trick.

Well turns out it was a problem with the heater core, there was coolant in the pollen filter, so that will be fixed soon plus I reported else where about a groaning noise when I take off from rest, I'm now told thats the clutch, I was aware the clutch was getting near the end but this confirms it, will get all issues fixed next week.
Should be a lot better drive after the clutch is done.
