I grudgingly spent £5 on 5 litres of prestone but £18!!!! Never!! I'd rather stop the car and wash the windscreen by hand.
I would begrudge paying that too. But the cost to repair a blockage makes it worthwhile I think
Often use Halfords screenwash, have never used a car manufacturer branded screenwash over the 28 years I’ve been driving

I just bought Demon screen wash for my works van as it claims to be good to -65 degrees if used neat and -20 when diluted. Was fed up having sqooshers frozen two weeks ago. As soon as the MCS bottle is empty, I will fill it up with Demon as well. I've never paid more than a fiver for screen wash. Must be an Aberdonian thing.
Agree that it might not be good to mix different makes, but surely if your MINI is telling you the bottle is empty, a quick flush with water means the system is empty and safe to use whatever you like.
Yeah I'll probably run it down to empty and then flush it through with water and use some cheap unbranded stuff I've already got.
The first service is due next month, so I'm going to tell them not to touch the washer fluid!
Bit late to the part but I just bought my mini in January there... first thing I done was dump the stuff mini had put in down to empty, then added the Halfords berry stuff [emoji23][emoji23]
I used that for the full 3 years I had my previous mini because it smells so much better! Never had any issues whatsoever

Bit late as usual, but just read this about ‘official’ Mini screenwash. Utter B*ll*cks. I’ve never used anything other than ‘generic’ skoosh juice in ANY car I’ve owned, and that includes 3 Minis from 2001 till now, and had absolutely no issues with clogged pipes etc, we’ll not on the car anyway! Just another Cunning Plan for the manufacturer to screw every penny they can by creating an unfounded ‘worry’. If still in doubt, ask Crombers, he’s the ‘Man with the CarPlan’ :cool: :smilewinkgrin:
I’ve been using this stuff for a long while now. It does smell a bit but it definitely does its job well.
I also use Rain X on my glass so that helps as well.
