Over the past few days could not get any water out of jets for screen and lights. Using the VX screen wash. I think the jet heaters are on all the time :question..
Is there a best % Screenwash to water mix to use in the -weather that we are having to keep them working.
 .

Thanks
Steve
It says on the bottle.  I'm currently at 33% screenwash to 66% water.  I normally use 25%/75%, but strengthened it up a bit more due to the colder weather.

I use Holts (as I can often get it much cheaper than anything else), which might vary.  I have some GM stuff in garage, but only use in the summer, as the label fell off ::)

I too have figured out this device.  I find if I leave all my clothes untidyly in a chair, the washing fairly does something, and they appear in the wardrobe.

Except socks. No idea what the washing fairy does to socks. I leave a pair to be {insert whatever washing fairies do with them}, and end up with 2 odd ones back...

Wish I could find an ironing fairy. >:(

I have yet to find an ironing fairy myself...  ...unless I'm out with her, as she is normally embarrassed at my attempts to iron ;D

He's a useless student, he'll be fine.  I'm sure he necks enough disinfectant (as sold under the guise of cheap cider) to kill it off ;D
