washer bottle goblins

they come out at night singing the washer bottle song and drink it all up, if youre sneaky you can catch them sitting on the edge sipping away with their straws. My advice... KILL THE b******s.

Si.

Probably just a wee leak. Try looking where the pumps go into the bottle or hang it from the bonnet with a tissue underneath to catch any drips.

Put some bright food colouring in it, thatll so up any flaws.

I fits under warranty they will most probably just change it without any bother.

Thatll be the washer bottle that needs replacing then!

I had mine done about a year ago. It was so bad that the water was actually coming out the bottom and running past my feet as I was topping the bottle up - wondered why it was taking so long to fill up!

Off to Renault again then Mike?

 

[McBunny]

yes but atlest they are gonna replace my seat cover (damn i was wanting buckets grr ) will only pay 80% of exhaust cost (£70) and wont repair the damage done by their jack to my sill

Had the same prob on my 172 mk2.Found to be headlight washer jet leaking.

 

[McBunny]

I had exactly the same thing. The dealer told me it was an absolute b**ch to change as well.
