England 2014 Freelander 2 SD4 Metropolis LE Auto Loire Blue
Steaming Lights

Just washed the car today and noticed that as I did so, one of the rear light clusters (2014 metropolis) partially misted up. The other did not. Anyone any experience of this please?

It appears to have cleared now (4 hours later) but is it a common fault/to be expected/normal or whatever?

Is this another warranty claim?

Yes they do, seems to be normal, as long as it clears soon afterwards dont worry about it.

Surely, Seadog, these are more akin to overtaking lights than steaming lights. (I did appeciate your nautical pun tho') 2009 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto - Stornoway Grey - Hers (His, really)
2002 Audi S8 4.2 Quattro - Ming Blue - Definitely His

There appears to be a small hole in the lens - presumably to enable the misting to clear. Mine mist up regularly but clear again quickly. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

Thanks again guys.

LR NUT: I did read that in the handbook (and forgot about it until you mentioned it) but to save a bit of face, the handbook refers to headlights and it was a rear/tail light that steamed up, so just wanted to ask.....................
