• Why do cars with A/C mist up without it? 14 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  Just something I've noticed as the weather has got damp and cooler. The Mondeo's demister is absolutey superb if I use the air-con, the car being driveable even on a cold start within about 10-15 seconds. Trouble is, when I then turn off the air-con, the car slowly mists up again (over the space

  My 1999 Ka will no longer blow hot air, only cold. Reading around it's been suggested that replacing the heater valve might do the trick. Does that sound like a plan? Is it difficult? I'm not at all experienced with engine repairs. Also, the car has air con. Would I need to drain
