Peggy if theres mud that would say to me it got to be
coming in from one of the wheel arch areas as the wheels
throw it up and as the nearside runs in the gutter most
of the time and its also the dirtiest side of the road i
would have a look there.

What about lifting the carpets and running without them
for a couple of weeks so you can see whats happening.

What did they do for £700 as theres not a lot on a Micra?

Guys - I am getting desperate!

Had the car in for service 2 weeks ago – Service and MOT over £700!
BUT Nissan couldn’t find the cause of the leak.
Had her booked in again last week for what seemed a 2 days’ investigation.
A lot of water and mud was found in the body of the car!
After a three days’ investigation Nissan took the car to a body shop, again without any results.
The phenomenon can’t be explained and remains a mystery, nobody can find the cause.
I will get the car back with a huge bill to pay and nothing done to the car.
Comment: we need to wait and see whether the water will return

How reassuring is thaaat. I am devastated

Nightmare in mine today we both went about 10 miles with
air con on, raining all the time, back to car not to bad
obviously we are both wet, then to pub, back to car Lisa
driving! and the whole car was condensated top to bottom
took 5 mins with fan on full speed to clear screen to be
able to safely drive off.

I did notice Lisas car (merc) doing this slightly
yesterday but only slightly i could just see the edges of
the rear windows starting to mist.

I have also noticed a lot of cars with seriously misted
windows in various car parks and on the road the last few
days

But not noticed any Micras with the same problem yet.

Rung Nissan Bromley today ref my radio code asked if i
stripped the dash and gave them the numbers would they
give me the code this will save their mech time and me
driving 60 miles they said no problem so dash out and
code sorted just like that, so hope you have as much
luck.

tks lynall! I'll check asap.

I have booked the car in for tomorrow and I desperately hope NISSAN can help as this becomes increasingly uncomfortable.
As a matter of fact we have problems with condensation as well.
In wet conditions we need to keep our A/C on for the screen to remain clear and fiddle continuously between A/C and heating.
Will keep you posted with the results tomorrow / Wednesday.

The black plastic panel under the wiper arms is where the
air is sucked into the car for the heater and the panel
under this has tiny drain holes if these become blocked
with leaves etc the water will get in via the two holes in
the bulkhead and then into the car
Let us know what they find as i have condensation problems
with my 2008 micra but cannot find any water in the car

does the car have a sunroof ? if so the drains and or pipes maybe blocked

a lot of cars have 8 litres of coolent if not more.

another way it could be getting is by a bung in the firewall is loose or missing/leaking
