You need to use virtually neat washer liquid then it doesn't freeze! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

That's the stuff I use, very good. Otherwise I use the shell screenwash neat and have no problems freezing.

Presently using Halfrauds normal stuff neat in my D3 neat. Says good down to -15c but in reality works down to -11c. Once that stuff is used up will get some Comma stuff, couple of places listed in Leatherhead. Mind you have "winter" mix level (1:4 conc ISTR) of Halfrauds stuff in SWMBO's D3, tends to be good enough for Surrey at around freezing. Any colder and we use my car with its heated steering wheel!! |

I use neat washer fluid from either Halfords or Costco. We have had -20 Degrees C several times this winter

I assume that the headlight washer jets are the same fuse as the windscreen washer jets (F11) can someone confirm this, there does not appear to be a seperate fuse for them in the manual. |
