Condensation in Dashboard Gauges

Hi Board

Hope you can give some help to a newbie.

On cold days when I have the heater on I have noticed that my fuel and temperature gauges start to mist slightly. It's not a huge issue but clearly shouldn't be happening.

The air intake for the heater is not blocked and I'm not getting any funny smells so don't think the heater matrix is at fault. Any ideas?

I haven't had this Landy long and will be talking to the dealer (Gotts) but thought I'd ask you as well.

Thanks

Think this is just a normal Defender thing as mine has always done this. I imagine its just do with the fact that a small amount of moisture builds up behind the dash as the fresh air vents are not 100% sealed when shut and the door seals leak slightly and so on...

Mine does it as well! think it's just a defender thing!

Mine too - you could always get some replacement marine dials if it's buggin' ye enough.

Is there anybody here who does not get misty dials?

...thought not.

your not alone!

check that your flexible pipe the goes to the heater vent isnt disconnected and aiming at the back of the dials.
