   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.

	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.

	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

	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? Lynall

	Final results of water ingress: Car was with Nissan dealer 3 weeks; dealer couldn�t find root cause for the problem. Finally they sent the car to a body shop to check it over � no results. Apparently they have sealed the car all over again. The total cost of �530.00 has not been covered by Nissan (1 month over warranty and no good will payment because root cause has not been found); Nissan stated that the dealer is trained enough by Nissan and has to find the problem. If they don�t, the service team have simply not spent time enough on it . . . . (very reassuring) And again the amount has not been paid back by the insurance company although full cover policy because root cause has not been found . . . We now keep our fingers cross when driving in rain . . . . . . and I don't think I will buy a Nissan again.

	Went up Tesco yesterday to recycle xmas glass bottles. I had to stop as the sun hit the condensation on the inside of the screen and i quite literally couldnt see the road at all. Its where the condensation is coming from thats annoying me as i hate not knowing. I swore at the car and have decided its going and i am going back to what i know Land rovers. Lynall

	Car froze last outside and more unbelievably on the inside as well! Even my 50 year old land rover doesn't do that. Lynall

	The Micra seems to have a lot of condensation problems! Has that ever been addressed with Nissan by anybody? We thought that the condensation had been caused by our water problem in the body of the car. As condensation problem seems to consist we feared that we were still taking water in . . . No proof of humidity though - thank God
