Next to your heater controls, make sure you have the slide switch set to vent, as opposed to re-circulate as this causes the glass to steam up.

might be water in the boot - the rear lights are well known to let the damp stuff in. Easy enough to re-seal though. Check for any crash repair round boot seal too.

Scoobimax - wish I had read that 6 months ago!!
Had terrible problems with my 97MY. Found plenty of water sloshing around in space-saver spare, so sealed spare bay/bolt area. 2 months later rear indicator was playing up. Closer inspection revealed short circuit as the light unit itself was half full of water!!!
Solved by buying a WRX03

Paul,
There seems to be some debate about MY00 cam belt intervals, I thought it was 60k/4yrs, but my dealer says it's due at 45k/3yrs.
I'm having it done next week. Better safe than sorry I suppose, cheaper than an engine rebuild! Can't really argue as it would invalidate my extended warranty.

Cheers, I'll try the rear lights, I've had the car HPI'ed and had a good look over it... and there is no sign of accident repair, & it's all clear... I'll look what heater is set on tommorrow...
As I said, the car has now done 41K... But I have receipts in the FSH saying the cam belt was changed at 30K on the full service...
When will it be due again, and what sort off cost's am I looking at, anything else worth changing while doing this job???

Yeah, load'sa fun...
The heater was on re-cerculating, cars fine now... no more misting up...
Another little niggley problem... Is some of the switches... heated rear screen, hazard warning lights, and rear fog light switches... They all work when you press them and light up when in operation...
But these 3 switches don't illuminate when your lights are on, so I can't see them very well at night...
Are there bulbs inside these switches so I can sort the problem, or is it the case of having to replace each switch cause there l.e.d bulbs inside them... if anyone knows, cause otherwise I'm just gonna take them apart and find out...!
Thats all for now... cheers...
I may just get the cam belt done for the sheer hell of it... peace of mind really!

If there's an X in the engine No then its 36000 or 36 months. If it's a Y then it's 45000 or 48 months.

Just seems strange that the front fog light switch illuminates when lights are on, but the rear fog light switch doesn't... and would have thought the rear heated screen switch ought to light up when lights are on???
So does anyone know, and do they have bulbs in???
Sorry about the re-circ question, but being new to the Scooby... thought best asking you lot... Cheers for you help... you've all been great help... I can see where im going now...
It's all abit moddern for me really... but i'm lovin' it...

Here's the low down on the switches.
Your fog light (front and rear) should be back lit. I had been told different by 1 scooby dealer, then the one I now use said "72.5k serviced OK, and BTW we put a new bulb in the fog switch as it had gone".
I think they charged me about £1.80 for the new bulb fitted. (in other word no labour charge )
Certainly MY98 the rear window and hazards are not back lit, IIRC, for MY99 onwards I think that they are back lit but not 100% sure - again ask the dealer - he should know if he's any good!
