Windscreen Washer Reservoir

[V41LEY]

It occurs to me that in 7 years of ownership, I have never needed to refill the reservoir !
Is it another hidden TVR 'I never knew that feature existed'
The Self Filling reservoir.
Nothing in the handbook !

You have heard about all the TVR Gremlins.

Well they have to have a pee somewhere!!!

Mine just failed it's mot as the washers didn't work.
Little did he know that there is water there but you have to coax it out!

4 years of ownership on one fill up.

This is wierd.Just topped mine up at the weekend,1st time in 6 years.Very odd?????

I once squirted my window...never again. Leaves those go faster streaks down the paint work!
I have now mastered the art of washing the window on one well timed squirt that is the equivelent of about a teaspoon of water!
If anyone discovers a petrol tank that doesn't empty itself drop me an e-mail.

7 years/4 years/6 years without refilling?

How big is the reservoir????

(9 months without filling on my part)

Well the neck on mine leaks like a sieve when the thing is topped, so I guess it would be possible for rainwater to get in by capillary action when the car is left in the rain...

Interesting to read I am not alone.
I always thought the 'Chimaera 450' badge had something to do with engine capacity.
Wrong it seems. Any '500' owners lasted more than 10 years on a single fill ??
