99% it's just fallen off the duct. The demister hoses are the corrugated black ones that run from down on top of the tunnel where the foot vents are and dissapear up under the dash. they often fall off, especially if the wiring or speedo cable has been worked on (it get's pretty tight on the driver's side.
I had this problem in my 1.0 for ages and it did my head in.

nah, you sort of have to thread your arm up through the underside of the dash up next to the clucth pedal. Check it's connected down near the tunnel though - they get knocked around a bit here and that's often where they come off - they're a pretty sloppy fit.

Yep
Just feel round there, and if the hose is floating loose, just re-fit it to the outlet.
