Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

xsara windscreen washer

gar_29 · 2010-01-05 13:49:42

heya, when i flick the lever to clean the windscreen, the water won't come out. i can't even hear the little motor that pumps it. the wipers come on as usual, as though they thought the water was pumping. (hope that makes sense!) is it something i can fix myself, or should i just drop it to the garage? gar

Agreed.. I always use neat washer fluid.

If you need a quick fix.. take the car for a hot jet wash!
