Squirters

[highlander]

I have bought the "ready-to-use" stuff before - in fact, that's what's in the car now. Shell stuff, as it was on special at my local garage. It's never frozen despite temperatures plunging to -12 C.

right all chucked in, changed fuse 10a under bonnet, but still nothing its all well and truly frozen ill not try it again for fear of blowing the motor.

I left the car in the garage last night, there was no ice on the windscreen but the snow on the car hadnt melted, sill -4 in the garage, tried the squirters no luck, chucked the rest of the fluid down the wash resivoir right to the top then some started pissing out the bottom there must be an overfill thing letting it out.

I'm now down to one squirter. The passenger side has given up as a bad job. :cyclops:

[FarmerPug]

fecking -11 the night ive never seen such a number all i can say its bloody well cold.

[FarmerPug]

Now were sucking diesel:

With that through the system it should hopefully keep the water from freezing again

[Welly]

How are you managing to squirt without wiping?

(sounds weird?)

[FarmerPug]

good timing with the camera shutter, on the wipers downward stroke, nothing else.

just for your information i have now swapped over to the strong stuff as the last lot i had in was only good to minus 22, and a couple of days last week was freezing on the screen when i was driving back at night after lessons

the new stuff is damn near 8 quid for 4 litres (38 zloty a pop) but this stuff is good for minus 40 so should be ok for a while but im told the only one worth having by end of january is the minus 60 stuff

you guys are having it easy really, its just the garages and the like arent really set up for it back over there, here when you walk in any garage its like a well stocked motor factors, christ i can even get EP90/85 fully synthetic gear oil in 5 litre containers at the local shell station, that stuff was like rocking horse do-do the last time i tried to get any back in the uk, t'internet job.

in the same shell they sell gaskets of all varieties and hylomar instant gasket stuff, jubilees up to 300mm, tyres, every conceivable type of lamp, well you get the idea, every bloody thing.

we are having a bit of a warm spell too at the mo its back up to only minus 4 or 5 in the day time and down to minus 8-10 at night so its all good.

I got my bottle of Stuff, and a packet of cinammon scented potpourri air freshner which im using in the car. All for £2.50.

[steve_earwig]

Is that Stuff™?

[FarmerPug]

the bottle of blue stuff i used in the windscreen wash theres even a picture of it

[FarmerPug]

i can now say the bottle of blue stuff is as useful as piss. -10 and nothing what a load of sh*t. But at least the car smells nice from the cinamon air freshners i purchased.

I got some new squirter nozzles which has now solved my cyclops problem.

Filled the washer bottle up with one third wash and two thirds water, and it hasn't frozen
(How big is the bottle? It always seems to take an implausibly large amount to fill it up.)

It's something mad like 9 litres
