Help
Ok, just been to the garage for a late night fill up.
Accidentally pressed the headlight washer button as i clambered back inside :eek: Everything seemed fine.. continued to drive home... a little wet :rolleyes:
Pulled up in my space, and open the door to see a trail of what seems like water behind me and a load of water leaking out from above the drivers side wheel onto the floor.
I panicked and quickly opened the bonnet to notice it was coming from the area of the water container... ( i hope it was water - it smelt like water ) It stopped after I had turned off the engine for 20 seconds.
What does it mean...?? It was too dark to really check anything, so I'll take another look in the morning.... I hope it was just a minor leak from the headlight washer tube or something... argg.. i hate it when stuff like this happens to me.
:confused: :confused: :confused:

OK, turned the wheel full lock to the right.
Then with the help of a friend( thanks brian :) ) got a screw driver and took off the two screws by the lower wheel panel. Pulled back the cover to get at the washer container and the hose connecting the washer bottle to the front lights had popped off. I managed to put the hose back on, but Im not sure the hoseclip is back on tight enough. grrrr.. hope fully the water/screenwash wont damage or get into the paintwork too much.... ill wash it out with water later.
Im going to get it properly looked at when I go in for a service soon. But how could this just pop off...? I think im going to disconnect that damn front light washer anyhow.

These front washers are a pain in the bum, totally useless if you ask me.
Nobody ever uses them when their hoods are down because you risk a soaking and they ruin the look of the front of the car.
I set mine off once by mistake (with the roof down) and got soaked, the shiny paint finish was wrecked until I washed it again:rolleyes:

Ever since September of 2008, we have seen the fruits of the fiat money roots that Mises warned against almost a century ago. But modern free-market economists are as hostile to Mises's theory of the business cycle as they were hostile to Mises's theory of the economic irrationalism of socialism . . . until the Soviet Union fell. Then, they got religion, but they still never mention Mises. It was as if he had never lived....Gary North

I went to B & Q to buy one of those oil filled radiators. It wouldn't fit in the boot so my son had to have it accross his lap in the passengers seat. Every time we went round a corner the box rocked and pressed the headlight washer button. We got soaked! :mad:

The easiest answer I think is just pull the fuse. It's certainly not funny when you're wearing decent clobber:rolleyes:

I did find a use for them. Pam took the p!ss about my getting lost and missing the road. Nice hot sunny day with the roof down. Pulled up. Pam stood up. Couldn't resist it :D :D :D
You'd only do it once though :rolleyes:
But it was worth it..... :D

Cedric, Particularly at 7.15 in the morning.
I've had two instances with the washers. The first time was when I had the dog on my lap in the passenger seat (Trisha was driving - I let her sometimes:D ). I put the dog on the central console to get out of the car and her paw hit the button and off it went.
The other time my boss was in the car. We'd stopped at some traffic lights and I'd lent over to get something out of the storage bag and lent on the button. At first I thought it was a spot of rain:) Thankfully he saw the funny side ot it.

It's funny about the washer switch. One of the daft rumours on the US side about the 2002MY was what the blanked off switch by the gear leaver was for.... Some very wacky theories, before it was pointed out that it was for a washer switch, and that they didn't really didn't want one as it's pointless. :D
They wereeven more confused over the fog light switch space... since it's near the steering wheel it's obviously some critical secret driving button right? :rolleyes:
:p :p
