Is the aircon working and are you using it?

Also check the passenger side scuttle for water, and see if the pollen filter is dry :y

Also most common is that the little air vent hidden behind the rear bumper is block with rags and general rubbish. (you'll find it on the right hand side of the boot, behind the arch - that little hinged flap that's for keeping rags and general rubbish in  :y)

To be honest I've never found them to be the quickest cars to 'unsteam'

Ahh, fair enough. So they don't get blocked on Estates?

So for the benefit of the OP, can you tell him where he can unblock the part that causes the windows to steam up?  ::)
