Now that wet winter days are upon us, combined with hot breath, much misting up is occuring. The screen heater blow is ok once up to speed, but non existant to the driver/passenger windows. Is this a fault with mine or a design fault? I do of course have a very hi tech rag with which to wipe wiv. :rolleyes:
Are there any mods available to fix it?
Sorry, left a posh all electric bells and whistles car behind to pursue the Def 90 experience, and lovin` it but the misting can be a safety issue.

Most 'modern' cars have vents aimed at the side windows, yours doesn't...:doh:

Open the windows a crack, the breeze should clear them pretty quick

My mate and I are looking at whether it might be feasible to retrofit some vents from a scrap shoebox to his deepender, if we find it possible I'll post a guide!

That's basically what we're planning... but was thinking of a cost more like £1.20!

The only other way to do it cheaply is to hook into the flexi pipe that fits between the lower dash and the windscreen vents. The lower dash is just a big air box with a flap for top and bottom vents. Ah reckon ye'd probably need some kind of T-piece on the short piece of pipe between the bottom dash and windscreen vents. Might be a little tricky as there's only about 4 inches of flexihose;)

Not stripped a depender dash afore, so don't really know whats in there! Do you mean tricky as in impossible or tricky as in 'will take 20 fags, 20 gallons of tea and 20 scraped knuckles to get it sorted??? :p

Oh, and tea's fur wimmen:p:D:D
 
It's not that bad a job tae strip it out;):rolleyes::D
Ah'd still be tempted tae do summit with the flexi hose tho'... or maybe even try riggin' up summit that fits into the top plastic things somehow;):D
 
having seen what i'm dealing with now, I can see why the £120ers do it like they do... Probably cut a hole into the side of the screen vent bit and feed a flexible pipe in and down through the inlet, that should ensure flow through to the new vents
