Hi everybody - I run a 2001 3.0 SE, running on LPG and 130,000 miles on the clock, I've owned it for over 7 years and has been relatively trouble free, just the usual stuff - disc and pads, and rear abs sensors, it's my pride and joys with some subtle mods - 18 inch rims, mesh grille, bootlid spoiler etc.etc

However of late it has becomes extremly difficult to demist the windscreen, or, in fact the whole cabin mists up very badly - this is a new scenario and something i've never experiienced in all the time of my ownership - any body got any ideas? - Cheers !

hi mate and welcome to the Jaguar Owners Club

My father had something similar only last week and turned out he had a leak in the heater matrix behind the dash. But it can also be a leaky door sill... check all the floors and carpets for wet patches as this can cause steamy windows.

Hi Steve - thanks for the tip off, what you say makes sense because I experienced the problem yesterday, when I went on a long(ish) journey, round trip of about 200 miles, and when I did my usual under bonnet checks (oil, washers and coolant) prior to such journeys, I noticed the coolant level was considerably low - it took a coiuple of litres to bring back to max level on the reservoir ! So when this 'blinking' torrential rain stops, I know what I'll be doing. Cheers again!

Let us know how you get on steve and how you manage to fix it.

Welcome to the club! It seems quite a few people seem to be having demisting problems at present. Must be the time of year!

Adam.

Welcome Stephen, Enjoy the forum, hope you have resolved the misting up problem

Could i ask where did you purchase your grille and other parts ?

 

Thanks
