Re: Help urgently needed

White mist on the windows sounds like a ventilation problem to me . . is there dampness in the footwells, luggage area? Do you have the aircon on circulation when you drive the car?

Does the car drive or sound any differently? Are you noticing loss of power, higher fuel consumption or any other symptoms?

My daughter bought a car from a 'well known' large franchise which drove and sounded 100% on the test drive. Two days before we were due to collect it, they rang saying the engine management light had come on and it was a timing chain problem. They kept the car for a week and replaced (at their cost) the chain and associated bits n bobs.

A week later the light came back on, car drove and sounded fine so told daughter to ignore it.

11 months later it went for MOT and our local garage diagnosed the rear sensor on the exhaust as the problem . . now it's still running fine with no light on.
