ive owned this 850 for 18months now and i absolutely love it i wouldnt swap it with anyone for any other car, took it for mot this morning not expecting it to pass as ive never owned a car that did pass first time, however i did have a good laugh at its expense when i pick it up :D
bloody typical, the grumpy teenager was workin yesdy :D
If it squirts on both sides of the screen - it's enough right? I wonder what he does with a old mini - with the manual button pump for the wipers? "001 broke my poor little pinkie trying to wash window"
no as soon as i started it to leave station i tried it and no water, got home popped bonnet and blew down thew pipe and it worked straight away :)
