A query to all, somewhat less exciting than AP's and TTs...

Is my windscreen wash supposed to hit the screen with a squirt or a nice all over misting (kinda like what BMW does)? I cannot remember it ever being any better than this but perhaps it is this crap courtesy of the previous owner. To be honest, a squirel pissing on it would get better coverage than what it's doing right now. The nozzels are intact.

They are not the mist type like BMW but should give good coverage. from my recollection they just clip into the bonnet so it might be worth taking then off and cleaning them and see if that makes a difference. To take them out from the inside push the two plastic retainers together and you should be able to push them out.

Doesnt work at normal road speeds, unless you like water all up your arm and inside the drivers door as I found out when my magical misty resevour ran out.

Is that the dirt flung up by shredded drive belts and oil from blown dipsticks from the supercharger? Or dirty smoke from the blown piston in the engine?
