Was out for a blast today in the car which was great fun apart from not being able to see much due to the drible of water that was coming out from the washers. Not frozen had water in it anything to look out for to why its rotten?

Pipes get clogged overtime if the screenwash is not diluted enough (gets jellyfied(sp)) - either that or your motor's goosed.

Or, if you've just been using water and the car's been standing you may also get algae growth in the pipes

Wee bit of additional hose from the T-piece under the front clam routed up to the wiper blade and then the spray bar is just attached with small black tie straps on ours - you can adjust the distance up the wiper arm to give the best dispersion of water.

I went uber pikey on my S1 and used fish tank pipe that had been stabbed. Worked a treat. Think Rich H went full brass bar, too heavy for me
