Has anyone else had the above problem? blooming weird, cant see how it can be misting on the outside of the windscreen, only a TVR is capable of such a bizarre occurrence!

Does it a lot down my way, on the cars and the house. I'm sure some meteorologist type can explain.

Mine does the same, can take a while to clear, then when you get going, the warmth blowing up from the engine mists it up again. A quick sweep with the wipers clears it of course, but I miss the heated screen of my previous Cerb :-(

I actually love it! Its the warm air/moisture rising through the engine vent and condensing on your cold screen as you roll forward.. just like i love watching the heat hayes when sat at a light on a cold day.. reminds me I'm in a super car!

Has anybody had steam coming out of the scuttle panel vents on cold start up?

It happens quite a lot to me especially when reversing the car out from a cool garage.

First time I had the fire extinguisher at the ready as i wasn't sure it was steam...eek

Yup nothing to worry about, mine lives outside and on cold days or after its been raining the manifolds heat up very quickly and any water/condensation is turned to steam and mists the windscreen, quick swoosh of the wipers when they feel like working smile and off we go.
