Hi All,
I have made a bit of a stupid mistake over my Winter storage months.
Just before I put my car into storage (around November last year), I ran out of windscreen washer fluid. I didn't bother re-filling it initially (I know naughty!). The Vee has been out of storage for about a 3 weeks now (I filled the washer bottle then). It was only this morning that I actually had to use the windscreen fluid for the first time, and it just doesn't work!
When I pull the stalk (for the fronts), the light washers spray but nothing comes out of the windscreen jets. Nothing comes out of the rear one when activated either. I tried it again about 30mins ago, and now no spray even comes out of the lights jets.
Dare I guess that the washer motor has seized or failed due to lack of fluid?
Thanks
