  • Condensation on windows overnight 7 Dec 2008 (Forum)
    Windows on wifes Focus keep misting up overnight. Sometimes quite badly (i.e. running down the windscreen). In the cold weather, they're misted up within an hour of parking. When driving, no problem. Tried leaving aircon on and tried leaving it off - makes no difference. Carpets, seats, etc all bone dry.

  • Glass polishing 14 Feb 2002 (Forum)
    The FAQ mentions professional repair of scratched windscreens. Has anyone attempted this for themselves? Mine only has fine wiper marks on it, but these are noticeable in bright sunshine (I seem to remember!) and it would be nice to be able to polish them out.

  • Omega water leak into front footwells 3 Jan 2003 (Forum)
    I have recently acquired a V reg 2.5 V6 Omega and it appears to let rain water in to the front footwells (particularly the passenger side). This only seems to occur when the car has been parked on a slope facing downwards - the water seems to collect somewhere in the engine compartment in front of the dashboard whilst the car is angled and then flows into the footwell (from behind the plastic fashia panel near to the door) when the car is driven level.

  • Parking Politics... 16 Feb 2004 (Forum)
    On Tuesday, the city council did this http://groups.msn.com/honestjohn/pologirlsparkingnightmares.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=175 to our car park, meaning that where you used to be able to get around 15 cars around the central circle and many more around the kerb, less than ten people can now park. The other option is to park around the front, on the roads that go around the flat complex.
