Right I've cleaned and polished the car for tomorrow and I just noticed that the drivers side head light has condensation in it >:( >:(.
Anyone any idea of how it got in there and how to sort it before tomorrow? :-[
-
The seals failed between the glass and plastic components. :(
You will need to dry it out and reseal the unit. ;) It could well fail the MOT if the condensation is bad.
-
the cover on the back for access to the bulbs, remove it and the condensation will disappear....leave the lights on too for a faster clear!

It's not too bad but still enough to be concerned about.
Might be a daft question but would black cam cover seal stuff work as a quick fix?
It would probably fail as the refrative index (i) of the condesation and the lens is different and would distort the beam. I can do physics me :D :D

Would not the refraction at the condensation / glass interface re bend the lightwave back to the original pattern ? Don't do physics, but can have an attempt at BS :D :D :D :y
Seriously though -- Best of luck for the test mate

I can't really answer that one, but I know it does cure to a hard seal. ;) I once sealed a headlight on a Carlton, but for the life of me cannot think of the sealant I used! ::) ::)

if you mean affect the beam pattern then yes, ,would fail, you could leave light on for a while untill it drys out,

Take out a bulb & dry it out with a hair dryer blown in through the hole!
-
So, how did it go ? :-?
-
Failed on the handbrake and for having oil on the shocks :'(

which damper(s)?

Haven't had a look at them yet, I've only started the handbrake.................to be continued...................

does it not state which dampers are leaking on the failier sheet?
