In the scuttle, passenger side, remove the rubber strip at the bottom (just peal it back a bit)

There is a plastic flap, lift it up, Filter is in there. Check the scuttle drain is clear and free flowing while you are there  :y

Will do Tunnie cheers mate, thanks for the link Brikhead. My windscreen mists up in wet weather, I've checked the carpets inside and they're dry, so could be blocked scuttle or I was thinking manky pollen filter.

No doubt its not been replaced in a while, get a replacement from a dealer. Make sure you get a carbon filter (it will be grey not white)

Facelifts need the expensive carbon type, not the cheaper white ones for PFLs.

Given the cost (about £15+VAT trade), I'd be inclined to remove it and dry it out, and only replace if its knackered.

There are vents in the corner of the boot as well, make sure they are free from blockages as well :y

And......

the scuttle drain needs clearing regularly to prevent it filling with water Scuttle drain cleaning (http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90535.0)

and

the recirculation flap servo can get confused (try pressing the recirc button, with the fan running you should hear the difference)
