Open the boot, look to the right, you will see a removable panel with a red cross symbol on it, open it & in the space at the bottom you will see two plastic vents. Make sure these are not covered over or blocked. Simples!

They are in the rear wings, inside where the first aid kit should be on the right hand side

I had this problem last week but knew I hadn't cleaned the inside of the windscreen for a while... Cleaned it and it's now fine

Incidentally... If you use any type of cloth on the windscreen I find it happens, including chamois leather Oh... And I never use the eco button... The difference it makes is about 8 or 10 miles per tank and, IMO, not worth worrying about

Sorry for the thread hijack but please could someone clarify something for me...

When the heater is on, unless the eco button is on is the aircon on?

Also will the aircons ability to demist be reduced if it needs a regass?

the misting up off windows is common at this time off year its due to the damp in the air. also cold colthes etc eg(glasses when you walk outside the mist up)  the aircon drys the humitdy out off the air and stops the misting up. it happens in my truck just wack aircon on all gone. also make sure pollen filter nice and dry. if matrix is leaking coolent level drops and carpets in rear get soaking wet.

Eco button on = aircon off

Just to update, tried the MarkDTM prognosis and all is well now, clear windows  8-) A day later the battery managed to turn the engine over for about two revolutions before dying a death, so i am guessing that the battery was on its last legs and after starting in the morning the voltage was low enough that the recirculation flap was switching to the recirculation position and thus causing the problem. Fitted a new battery and now all is well again in omega land. Thanks Mark for your help and everyone else for your suggestions
