Anyone experiencing condensation in either of rear lights?
Noticed today as washing car that the near side light was fogged?
Guess another trip to the Dealers.
Also, had car keys re-coded twice and has just happened again - shows Smart key not recognised and has occurred numerous times with both keys
Awaiting answers from CS as doesn't seem to be software upgrade to bottom problem according to Dealer

Bye

It's not a problem, just the laws of phsyics with condensation forming when the inside of the light is significantly warmer than the outside (e.g. especially when washing the car with cold water!). It's no different than the way the car windows often mist up if you wash them with cold water when it's hot inside the car. It should clear after the temperatures equalises.

It tends to be worse on LRs than other cars as they use 'breathable' seals on the lights rather than cheaper plastic/rubber, which means there will be a natural amount of moisture in the air inside the light housing.

Many thanks, hadn't seen manual book comments, but when had similar probs with an Evo they changed the lights! Must have been lucky
Also, thanks appreciate how to operate smart key thru cowel insert, but I have tried moving just the key on its own around the car with no improvement
Appreciate your advice
Regards,
Mike
