Hi all,
The washers weren't working so after trying to unblock the jets and failing, I opened the bonnet. Hey presto the washers worked perfectly. Closed the bonnet - back to a dribble. I tracked it to the washer pipe kinking by the bonnet hinge. It seemed to be taped to 2 bits of plastic fastened to the hinge so I cut the tape, moved the pipe round a bit and taped it directly back to the hinge. I'll get the dealer to take a look when it goes in for it's fortnightly 'fix the fuel gauge' visit (damn thing still keeps dropping back to zero once its below half ) but ...

is this a known design fault - has anyone else has this problem. 07 Freelander 2 TD4SE Tambora Flame, side steps, privacy glass, mud flaps, boot liner and a tow bar. Ok it's the Wifes but she lets me drive it occasionally - if I've been good!

Had at least 2 of those, plus a plug fixed ............ still doing it
Dropped off 3 times on the way home last night. Oddly since the last 'update' rather than jump back into life, it now creeps back very slowly taking 5 mins to get back to 1/2 a tank.
So only me with a kinked pipe then ...? 07 Freelander 2 TD4SE Tambora Flame, side steps, privacy glass, mud flaps, boot liner and a tow bar. Ok it's the Wifes but she lets me drive it occasionally - if I've been good!

no just wondering why you left a kinked washer pipe until it was f freezing outside

and if yours is like Mrs NP and drives around with no fluid in the washer bottle for months, only getting it filed when i have to move her car and notice its empty  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Fair point. I noticed it a while back but didn't get around to doing anything about it. If it had been on my car it would have been done within the hour but the Mrs rarely uses the washers so hadn't noticed. Unfortunatley, in this weather, she finally had to press the button and when all she got was a weak dribble, I got it in the neck. So, out I went, in sub zero temperatures and fix something that blasts cold water at me - what fun.
We also didn't bother to mention it to Massey's the last 2 times it was in as that would be too easy too.
Yup, right clever we are  07 Freelander 2 TD4SE Tambora Flame, side steps, privacy glass, mud flaps, boot liner and a tow bar. Ok it's the Wifes but she lets me drive it occasionally - if I've been good!
