Window Wash Lid

[Sweeney]

Just wondered if any of you have this problem.

After driving for a length of time inhaling the *wonderful* :dead: smell of halfrauds window wash fluid; i opened the bonnet to see that the lid does not stay closed... :evil: Once i hit a bump (ie. speed bump) it releases itself and when full with liquid if spills all over, seen it dripping too.

It now stays closed as i have a tie wrap round it :approve:.

Never noticed that. And be careful with hellfrauds windae washer flooid. My dealer has told me scare stories of cheap fluids congeeling in the pipes requiring a complete system strip down and clean. Nasty. And expensive.

I asked what the alternative is: "Buy ours"

I asked him how much his was: "3.99 / litre"

Once I'd picked myself up off the floor I went to hellfrauds and bought some branded stuff. Car Plan or something like that.

halfords i'd say is ok, probably not diluting enough could cause problems though, although you never can trust these dealer types.

Fill you with mince so you buy their products, if it was like that theyd be telling us their waxes and car wash liquids are better for the mini than others ;)

aye you broony/norman, dodgy sods :p

Never noticed that happening myself ,however ,due to the over filling of the system air locks may occur !!! ...the air has to go somewhere, and plastic bottles expand and contract during the warmer weather, also when topping up I notice an escape of air !!!!!!this might be your problem.

Doesn't the washer fluid cap have a wee hole in it to stop air lick happening Angus? I've never paid that much attention but it has had one on all me other motors.
