Hi,

Recently took my VXR8 overseas and attempted to use my washers for the first time, nothing so a lack of fluid i thought! Took it to the nearest garage and tried to fill the wash bottle to find it just coming straight out of the bottom, FANTASTIC!!

It seems considering the previous post about the wiper motor that the VXR8 has a major problem with anything to do with cleaning the windscreen!

Will post an update when the problem is identified

Just returned from the dealer NOT the washer bottle but a broken filler pipe.

Now on Backorder.

Still loving the car however!!

imagine my surpise you drove at 160 on a british motorway then admitted to it


I think a broken washer filler hose is least of your problems

Had the same problem but Picador's sorted it when they replaced my wiper motor, not sure what they did, maybe nicked it off the same car the wiper motor came off.
