I had this problem last year. After checking with a multimeter that there was no problem that end - a mate showed me a little tip.

Checking the sensors with the wheel removed, he used a small piece of sandpaper to clean off the 'teeth' on the sensor (they can get significantly 'gunked up' with all ...

OK lots of common sense advice (when you know how) - thanks everyone - any other tips, please feel free to add.

Thanks

OK - have now bought a trim removal tool.

Going back to the 'AV' arch replacements - has anybody used them? (obviously want as close a fit as poss!)

How good are the ones from Barnseley Autopanels?

Now I have purchased a replacement rad (non genuine part from ebay) - previous rad changed 4 ...

Good point - don't know is the honest answer, but will check it.

thanks - much appreciated

Hi all,

purchased a replacement (front) washer motor from Ebay. Local garage fitted it (apologies not that technical).

However, they didn't charge me for fitting it - said the motor was fine. Therefore assuming it is likely to be a wiring problem (can't be fuse, cos wipers still work fine).

Any ...

Hi Chaps,
I'm confident someone will be able to advise re this frequently discussed problem.
Suffering some significant coolant loss (coolant alarm came on/stayed on). Immediately stopped and checked level - sure enough - level was low (below the sensor).
Topped up - ok for a few hours - then ...

Will probably give it a go (practice on something smaller first.)
