Got the low washer fluid message the other day, so no biggie, filled the washer back up, problem is it still says low washer fluid and now the headlamp washers aren't firing (maybe due to car thinking there's not much fluid left) any one had any experience with this?? |

You can get at the washer Reservoir/pump by removing the driver side front wheel arch liner. |

The Headlights need to be on for the Headlight Washers to work, if they do wash, they only wash one in every five presses of the button and wash each Headlight independently, not both together |

yea I'd guessed that, so I'm guessing sensor is dead, since the washer bottle is full but still no luck, I'll have to have a look around, the sensor are only £3 anyways |

If you suspect the sensor, try putting a small wire between the two terminal. The warning lamp then should go out Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice. |

Not wanting to hijack or divert the course of the thread, but do all Freelander2's have the low fluid warning, I usually top up every couple of weeks but I ran out over the weekend which caught me by surprise, I did not get a low fluid message, Obviously the manual is not trim level specific, and assumes you have a HSE with all the toys, where as I have an 'S' poverty spec. I don't know if I have a non-working sensor, or if I don't have the facility, the fact you cannot check the level of the fluid makes it a bit awkward. Neil Hampson
