Father in law rang with a little puzzler on his 99 V70R;
Windscreen washers and headlights getting NO water, can hear the pump running.
Rear screen IS getiting water, can hear the pump running.
However he says when trying to wash the front screen the rear screen gets a little squirt instead?
Does this sound like a pump problem, diverter valve, or a blocked tube? Just asking before he starts crawling round under the wing and sets his bad back off!

Did you know the EU says that you can't claim that drinking water prevents dehydration. So now you know for sure what many of have known for years that the EU is run by a bunch of nutters.
