Laughing well - thought that but temp has been up to 5 deg and still inop - would the headlamp jets not also be frozen if that the case ?

Also are these jets supposed to be heated - my BM had heated jets as i recall - windscreen heater on heated jets on ... Question

Stay in the warm MAW, yes pull the right hand column stalk towards you all the way and the rear washer will operate and give 3 wipes................................ you will then spend the next 10 minutes clearing the excess water off the rear screen too! A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

Forgot to report back, mine were working with -6°C outside, so they are heated but you do need to wait 1min before they will work. 08.5 RRS TDV6 HSE Java Black/Alpaga - Cold Climate Pack - Privacy Glass - Bluetooth - Sunroof - 20" wheels - Rubber Floor mats.
