Hello there
FIrst time poster here - very impressed with the forums.
Can you help please?
Yesterday I noticed a slight burning smell when driving along. Going around 40 mph on a country lane - nothing out of the ordinary. I checked under the bonnet but could see no smoke or visable sign of damage.
About 20 minutes later - at a set of traffic lights - I used my front windscreen jet and then my back windscreen jet. The front was OK, but the back squirted water INTO the car - on the passenger side's footwell, directly under the glove box. It also squirted where it should have - onto the back windscreen.
Could the burning smell and the leakage be connected? Does the cable from the reservoir to the back windscreen jet run through the passenger side? Any ideas/fixes etc would be greatly appreciated for this beginner to car maintenance.
Many thanks
