Maybe, like Biggles above, just before starting on a long journey, pour water into it until it fills up?  Malaysia Boleh!

I think (I could be wrong) that scorpio doesn't know how to check the windscreen wash level. Forgive me if I am wrong b/c I don't want to insult your intelligance, but I think that's what they're trying to understand RRS S/C Special Edition, Vesuvius |

Long gone are the days of the Range Rover Classic where you had a huge 2 gallon clear plastic reservoir sitting in the top of the engine bay for all to see, no, most modern cars have the bottle tucked up inside a body panel and just a filler neck to see from the engine bay. My M5 is like this and so when filling up I listen for the different sound it makes as it's getting fuller, and then stop as it reaches the mesh filter in the filler neck.

I have now covered 6,500 miles without the need to refill the bottle. If I checked it every time I was going on a journey perhaps that would reduce my mileage? OK, it's summer but I have been using it regularly for bug guts removal 
To put it simply, I suppose it's quite a big bottle, check it when you check you're oil every 2 weeks or so. |

the oil light should tell me when the oil is low, i did not spend £40,000 so that i could lift the bonnet every week to check the levels etc, nearly all cars today have levels that are indicated on the dashboard,

Pray do tell us - which car has a wiperwash level indicator on the dashboard?

Yes, agree with you. A warning message and not an indicator. I believe all vehicles have that. The operative word is "LOW". But if you look at the first posting, Scorpio admits the 'book says warning will come on screen' .... . Apparently Scorpio is not happy with that and wants more. Most probably he wants an indicator - something like the fuel indicator which will show a real-tme reading. So he does not have to pop the bonnet to check the level.One look at the dash and he will know for sure if the level is half-full, four-fifths or whatever. And he dosen't want to be caught with a wiperwash low-level warning midway on his long trip! All or most warning lights/indicators come up when the level is dangerously low. To want to avoid this, the usual advice is covered under the 'owner's maintenance'. Every week check this; every month check that and so on. Of course, like Biggles pointed out, just check the damn thing before embarking on a long journey! Sometimes you can't have your cake and eat it too!!!

My Audi S4 cab has a diagramatic pic ( animated ) of low water level in the screen wash resivoir which holds water for screen/headlamp wash. |
