I got all the locks off and then the silver screen. In the fortnight she had been there as well as every bird in the area taking turns shitting on her, it had rained.
I ran the wipers and then the washers. Wipers worked. No water.
I drove the short distance home. Had the bonnet up and filled the washer bottle with the premix water and cleaner.
Then tried the washers. Plenty of motor action. No water on windscreen/windshield.
Bonnet/hood up. Try again. Water squirting out sideways.
Bugger. There's a hole in the pipe near the filler. Closer inspection. Two holes. It looks as though the have worn through by rubbing against the metal jubilee clip holding the windscreen trough pipe!
I am hoping this is the only problem.
It looks like cutting the pipe and fitting a length of hose in and rerouting to avoid chaffing the metal clip is all that needs doing.
Keyhole surgery!!! The photo doesn't give a true impession of the tightness of the space!!
My mate Phil suggested it was mice 🐭🐭🐭.... I hope not. He's got me wondering. I don't usually let the reservoir get that low. To fill it too about 2 litres.....
I went to Halfords this morning, Sunday, but the hose they had was too narrow gauge and so I ended up ordering from Amazon Prime. Delivery tomorrow.
Fingers crossed again. Typical for there to be a problem a few days before we are away on a trip.
Might have to engage Matt who bought Suki if we can assist!
