Bit of an over dramatic title but it gets your attention.

They are selling strawberry or lemon smelling screen wash now ::)
-
its been known about in the trade for a number of years as a possible.
if you was "wanting to be carefull with your money" you can use a cup of bleach,to kill the bactria that live in there,but its not a genuine part.
whoops should have said to clean the washer bottle out,then refill

Don't think it lasts long enough in a car with HID's to ever have legionella bacteria. ::)
Seem to be able to practically empty the washer bottle on a long journey in poor driving conditions.

Mrs TB gets through screen wash faster than she gets through Pimms on a hot day.
I think TBE still has a full winter mix in, as she doesn't use it much ;D. Of course, the saving grace is I can just put water in for now, and it will still be a strong mix.

Did it survive intact then :-\ That crash bar makes for a pretty effective heat shield if it did :y

Yup, I think Irmscher bumpers are perfect insulators... ...even the foam padding behind is in tact.

He has done an amazing job, considering what he had to work with. Its definately not perfect, but bloody good none the less.
I'm trying to be careful over speed bumps and hump back bridges, unlike last time I had it resprayed :-[

That was a fast turn around! So it's back on the road now? Any issues with screen being replaced? Can imagine that was difficult given it has no strength.

Yeah, been used it for a week.
The screen, as expected, requires them to come out for the third time to do it right.
