Duly noted, wifey's Omega gets misty very easily. Not that I'm going to do anything about it, trouble I'm having with my own ATM...

It'd be worth checking the condition of the receiver/dryer if it's got aircon as well; once this is saturated the car will steam up very easily.
Mine needs replacing but considering I had the aircon re-gassed earlier this year I think I'll put up with it for a while!
