Has the car had a windscreen change recently?

Does the heater appear to be less efficient, and has there been a damp smell in the car prior to this?

Not had the windscreen changed, has been a slight damp smell if the car has stood unused for a couple of days and the heater is usually like a blast furnace

Ah OK, but a mirror could be used with a torch, to gain a reasonable look around in this area.

Its a Renault they designed that way the short one is the bulkhead water drains block up , i took a pair of cutters to the flaps they put on them because they cause the problem , water runs down inside the dash shorting stuff as it goes then runs down the fuse/relay box under the bonnet and shorts that out ,

I checked my fuse /relay unit it was ok so got some spray silicone and did the inside with that then got some clear spray wax and did the fuse/relay unit and the water runs on the bulkhead ,had the car [ modus ] 2 years everything still works !
