I thought a really stupid question was one just above a post from a 2 year old member consisting of only "Have you read the Tech FAQ?"

Had extra strong anti-freeze screen wash in but Saturday morning after a night parked just outside of York it made no difference - frozen solid for about 40 minutes of our journey home.

Heated nozzles and heat exchangers are pointless if the contents of the washer bottle have frozen

One of my nozzles keeps on getting blocked even in mild weather, any tips on cleaning them out/removing blockages?

It's probably got some old leaves or something in the end ... i've disconnected the pipe on previous cars, removed the nozzles and given them soak in hot water / poke through with a pin. Usually cures it.

Or just discconect the pipe and blow through the nozzle so whatever is blocking falls out

I picked up some for an MGF last year for a previous car, never got around to fitting them - cost me a tenner brand new
