My internal water feature

[iGGy]

Not a recommended modification this one.

Whilst replacing my radiator I had a look at the rear washer pump and found it to be jammed...a bit of reversed voltage soon cured that. As I'm letting the car warm up for the first time after doing the radiator I decide to try the rear washer. Can hear the pump whirring away, no water though...so as you do, I keep my finger on the button, still nothing. Must be airlock.

So I get out of the car and spot bubbles (not the monkey) by the back of the car and think oops, spare wheel full of water. Nope, dry. Then I spot the water trickling past the rear speaker and on closer inspection, there's another join further up the rear pillar and its come apart. The entire area behind the panels is soaking from my own personal fountain!

Why they don't put clips on these connections is beyond me. But I have to say that I take full responsibility for the mess as it would appear I was a bit enthusiastic with the compressed air pressure when I blew the line out
:bricks:

i had my very own water feature when me and a couple of mates decided to buy a box of stella and a box of WKD and a bag of ice.

Had about a 20 min drive to a mates bbq, so thought it would be a good idea to fill the boxes with ice and put it in the boot.

Somehow it didn't work, by the time we got there, the box of WKD had tipped over, all the ice had melted and there was water trickling from the drainage hole on the left of the boot where the cd changer normally goes.

Should have know because it was 30+c outside :lol:

And here I am cursing that the 850 saloon doesn't have a rear wiper...

Bad luck T5Mark...still, at least it was only stella and not anything vital like newcastle brown! :P
