Hmm I have got it down to only coming out on heat and it is in the cabin ie turn on recuculate and it stays. Thete is no smell of the actual vapour so I am initially filling out leaking matrix. Other option is blocked drain? Where would I find the drain tube to check thanks.

Does it look like fog? Similar to that seen when the freezer door is open?

Yea was my initial thought but was less convinced as time and conditions changed. With the final nail in that theory being comes on with heat not cold... confused. thanks for the reply.

In some conditions, fog from vents can happen, even with the heat on. Set the controls to ECO mode and try again.

You're not the first to have this happen. My D3 did it on occasion too, but setting the heater to recirculation cured it, iirc.
Edit:
Here's another thread with the same issue. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/visible-misting-from-air-vents.318356/

Just read the link ." Got worse with a new pollen filter" i just fitted one lol strange thing is i removed the old manky one a few weeks before. Then again i was the one driving when it happened, after a very wet day out, 4 of us got soaked, and letting the climate control control. The wife still adjusts indivdual controls to suit. Back to the original freezer fog idea and hopefully it will clear. BTW the wet day was found in Galway west coast of Ireland

Thought i would update, i found wet carpets (in below rubber mats the good wife likes) which re-affirmed my theory of blocked aircon drain so i set about pulling trim and carpet.
All looked ok but i blew the compressor out and up to be sure then when i checked below there was evidence of a drying puddle..
I was driving at the weekend there and no sign of the freezer fog so all good - oh and the rubber mats now live in my garage...
I havent checked the carpets yet but wen i do i will update my other post.

Thanks for reading
