Head lamp washer stuck

[Mike_eng]

Hi guys and girls,

Last night the nearside head lamp washer stuck in the "out" position.

I've tried to push it back by hand and there does seem to be a little play but it won't retract.

Obviously I don't want to force it especially with it being so cold.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mike

Just found the same problem with the First Lady's S3. Hopefully the solution Ron has suggested will work so please let us know how you get on.

Checked my S Type for the same issue as I took it out yesterday - we only had a light dusting of snow locally - only to be reminded that the windscreen washers are not heated. Ah well, can't have everything but even so I decided not to get up close to the HGV in front in the hope of getting in the way of a little wet stuff.

Now what did I do with empty washing up liquid bottle?

Hi Steve,

Yes a cup full of v hot water freed it off although it was still a bit stiff and gritty feeling so dosed it liberally with WD and now it feels much better.

Will have to wait until the weather improves before I know if all is well, trying very hard not to wash the screen while the lights are on at the moment!

Cheers,

Mike
