If all else fails, leave the Sport stationary engine running when warm. That'll thaw them out. Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

They don't get that warm Paul. They are heated but not HOT! Another thing to try is to squirt some aerosol de-icer (kust a tiny amount) on each nozzle and leave it for a couple of minutes. Is the tank frozen or are the lines frozen?

ST - Paulo has an S/C - leaving it to warm up will cost about 1/2 tank of fuel - they don't have an FBH in S/C's IIRC............................. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

LOL....

No idea what is frozen.....

I filled the bottle full of a pre-mix, now not sure that it was winter stuff, so reckon it is probably all frozen!

I've just moved my car off the drive - all scooshers frozen solid and nothing coming out even after running the engine long enough to get warm air to thaw the ice on the screens. The water bottle isn't frozen as there is fluid water right up into the neck of the washer bottle neck. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Tried usuing my screen wash int he snow and nothing. Checked the fuse - Blown!

Can you hear the motor trying? If you cannot hear anything when trying then i'd check the fuse! (Which is bloody hard work)

OK....

but... I've owned the RRS for 2 years.... And have never seen the fuse box....

Where is it?

Checked the Halfords screen wash I have today - instructions give dilution directions and they say that neat liquid has strong enough antifreeze to work down to -15C. 50% is ok down to -5C. I think part of the problem is that the front screen washer lines run between the steelwork and the under-bonnet insulation so you are on a looser even with the nozzle heating as the insulation also stops the engine heat from getting to the lines and the steel will be freezing them too.
In 1982 I remember having a long period of temperatures that even in my garage went down to -20C. Even the neat screen wash froze and the washer tank didn't thaw out even after a 19 mile drive into town and sitting in the rush hour traffic. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Buy a garage, park the RRS inside it for one day, done!  RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration
