zebedee8 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Hello All, do all models have headlight washers or are they specific to a particular model? Quote
JetSet Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 All U.K cars have them . Not too sure about JDM cars, some definitely don't have them. Pete Quote
Vik54 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 And bear in mind that with the new MOT regs they now have to be fully operational. Even an aftermarket bumper will be no excuse Quote
m-zed89 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Can these be adjusted? Mine spray all over the bonnet Quote

KyleR Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I don't even know how to activate them, any tips? Quote
m-zed89 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 There's a button near the ESP. Make sure u press the right one tho I tricked a bird to bend over the side of the bonnet and got her top soaked Quote
Ebized Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 There's a button near the ESP. Make sure u press the right one tho But will only operate with the headlights switched on. Quote

I had a word about this with the guy who MOT'd mine recently, he was obviously aware of all the changes to the MOT regs but described this as a "grey area". What he told me was that he would fail a car that had them fitted if they didn't work, he also said that if they were completely removed then he would find it difficult to fail them as at that time he didn't have a list of cars that had these fitted, in other words if he spots the washer bottles, pipes, brackets, etc still in situ then it'll be a fail. That's only one tester though, others may well see it differently. If you buy a UK Zed with an aftermarket front bumper then its well worth checking that the parts needed to get the washers working are present or available as it may not always be a grey area.

KyleR Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Went out to check them yesterday only to find the washer bottle was empty Filled it up today and they are working That's one less thing I have to get fixed before MoT on the 10th! Quote
