comments please
two more design faults (and ive only had the car a month)if the designer had to put the screen wash bottle in such a stupid place surely in a £15000 car they could have ran to a level sensor .
and what about the headlights- even with new earths and a strip and clean a couple of candles would work better'
i put in 100 watts which i assume are legal which work better, i am re plating the centre reflecters they would have been shiny when new but now resemble brillo pads.will post if it works.
these are detachable from the main reflecter but not available seperately, has anyone sourced these?
(with regard to parts i spent a lot of silly money on parts thinking the local dealers had the monoply then i discovered eurocar-leeds-- polite efficient knowledgeable )genuine parts fraction of the price
my 240 basic headlights no pun ..... were brilliant
i do like the car honest,
ps can anyone tell me what the black cylindrical object is over the distributer 2 air pipes going to it?. oh for a good workshop manual
regards again

I am unsure what you mean by "surely in a £15000 car they could have ran to a level sensor" as my two 700 have a level sensor, it may however be broken in your car. As for the lights, mine are standard on both of them and brilliant; have you checked the connections and the relays? Maybe you have a weak power supply.
