Which rice would you recommended? Uncle Ben's, Basmati, some of that brown or wild stuff, or could you get away with Tesco Value?

Surely boil in the bag would be the best option?

I stand corrected........Sorry

I am afraid to say that so does my Audi, Mercedes and VW.... We'll probably find that Skoda has the problem licked...

Something is wrong here.

We all have to write our own contributions on this forum.
I now see that things are different on the Bentley forum.

One has a minion to do the writing.
ie. My day's Bentley has condensation in the headlight.

Well swipe me. -

I used to get this on my xkr. There's an inspection cover, to change bulbs etc, on the headlight body.
I used to pop a couple of bags of silica in there (40g, off eBay,), problem solved.
I took them out every few months, dried them on a radiator, and popped them back in.

I thought they were a sealed unit..

He is right
There is a "access panel" in the wheel arch liner
Behind that a cover to the rear of the light unit with a brass screw holding it on

I think most people go with the "they all do that sir" approach. I just wait till the sun comes out and they heat up a little, then it goes away.

Not a lot you can do really, the boil in the bag rice , silicon bags in the compartment, what a load of faffing about, I really can't be bothered. I don't think I have seen an Aston (that lives outside or has been outside in the cold) that doesn't have this. However, if you have clear rear lights and condensation in them, that's a different matter altogether
