Good news on the flat spot engine front

I’m sure between MMC and a main dealer will sort it out

As to the misty gauges which always gets Mog owners excitable (maybe not), I don’t think there is a definitive solution

It’s the miracle of science sherlock

Warm air on inside of instrument meets cold glass causing condensation

Unless the instruments are vacuum sealed this is always going to happen if the conditions are perfect for condensation

The fact it only happens occasionally or not at all is because the conditions haven’t been met

I only get it when taking my Mog out from a reasonably warm garage on a very cold morning with the hood down so that the cold air chills the glass and the warm air inside the instrument condenses

Why doesn’t it happen in other cars?

Polycarbonate instrument glass which is warmer
Vacuum sealed instruments
Air conditioning
Not being exposed to large temperature gradients behind the dash and the cockpit
The dash not being exposed to moisture like a Mog

Some instruments might be better sealed than others

Some Mog owners might never drive with the hood down on a very cold morning

I personally love it when it happens as I can imagine what it was like trying to flying a vintage aircraft
I even tap the glass to make sure the gauge is working doh

If it’s happening an awful lot maybe the area behind the dash has been exposed to some excessive moisture, maybe some heavy rain, a rogue spray with a pressure washer or a washer leak

Just some thoughts
