Water appears on my windscreen when its dry?

[TONY3R]

I was out in the NOBLE this weekend giving it a decent drive and blast here and there when I noticed that when I turned into a corner whether it be left or right at speed I had water appear at the bottom left hand side of my windscreen in the area where the wipers rest.

Now is this the screen wash over spilling out from the wiper tubes? The car is only 3 months old and I have hardly used the wash wipe so it could be full... hence overspill maybe?

Is anyone familar with this or could it be something else?

Don't worry, it's just screen wash. Proves you're driving it properly....

It's approval from the factory that you are using it properly, if you don't have a clean area there when it goes in for a service they take the car off you

Tony, as has been mentioned this is a common occurence - you can have a one-way valve fitted in line (a very quick job) which improves the situation but as Simon says if it happens you've been motoring :-)

I get this same problem every time I have my car cleaned and the roads are dry(ish)! - oh those standard tyres are good in the wet! - perhaps I should slow down a bit?

Nah - don't think so - this car is far too much fun!

Ingenious fix but an MOT failure, no?!

As Simon says, it's a useful guide. If you don't empty more than half the screen wash in a track day, then your cornering speeds are too low!
