I'm sure medical science and MIJ will soon have a cure for both problems.

In the meantime, just hang in there tailor and stevehat, and enjoy the fact that all the parts work!

How's the weather? You didn't say where you are.
Are you using washer fluid with antifreeze?

The problem is no longer the "squirt" but the "dribble" that follows :o

However, there is one small thing. The washer fluid sprays out with good force on the front windshield, but when I stop spraying the fluid gradually stops and sprays over the top of my hood (a slow stop of pressure).

Is this normal, or do I need to do something else to get the full pressure?
I was going through the version of Vadis I just installed and came across this piece of information.
It would seem that the "dribble " is not normal see below. I know we had some fun with this post, so here is may making it right again. :D

Notice the bit about the pressure valve.
