BEAST.

I've got some of the Lidl stuff hving seen it recommended, haven't tried it yet... SD4 HSE Lux Orkney Grey,Full size spare tyre,Ugly kid glass.

Information from a Merseyside Traffic Police driver on the force policy.
Use cheap brand almost neat 90/10 in the winter mainly to stop freezing up.
For summer use to remove traffic film/ suicidal insects at a concentration of 10% more than manufacturers recommendation.

Got some Lidl stuff today, so will put it in over the weekend and see how it goes.

Whatever you do use, DO NOT MIX SCREENWASH FLUIDS. Some react with others and cause curdling and then blockages which can be an expensive nightmare to sort out (Been there and cost me £90!!). Always rid yourself totally of the old stuff and flush through before adding your new stuff. Personally, I always flush with hot top water and Milton sterilisation fluid before re-filling with the new fluid. Hope that helps someone out there. FL2 HSE Auto Galway Green
Evoque SD4 Auto Blue.
FL1 HSE TD4 Manual Black - Gone.
RR Classic V8 EFI - Gone

Good advice. I'll empty mine out and flush before I put it in. Thanks for that.

Think it was the halfrauds one used neat that made my tailgate handle go streaky. Someone else on here made a post about that.

Currently using some blue concentrate stuff from local Makro, supposed to leave a repellant film on the screen & do the antifreeze bit. Seems ok at the mo.  MY2014 SD4 XS

I bought 25 litres from motoworld for £13. Bargain, run it neat when it gets cold!

I'd hesitate to use the Makro stuff. I used some once and it was very cheap but it formed a sort of slime and blocked the filter on the filler. Didn't block the jets, but you could see bits floating in it.

Allow the heathen fisher to step in and say that I either:

- squirt a good amount of fairy liquid in and top it up with water
- throw some car wash shampoo (liquidy not creamy stuff) in and top up with water.

Both do a sterling job of cutting through grime and bugs. Never had a problem with it, other than -10'C which yo be honest is rare in the uk.

The only problem with Fairy liquid is that it is full of salt - that is how it gets its viscosity

I've found fairy liquid to congeal over time and block the filter - £49 to get it sorted

Lesson learned - defo won't be using FL again! MY14 SD4 HSE LUX, Colour - Santorini Black, Spare Alloy, Privacy Glass, Front & rear SS tread plates, Chrome arse, Official LR coat hanger!! <-- Going soon... Any offers?

On order - DS2 with pretty much everything on 👌
