Well I have to admit that my suggestion on Aldi's screen wash didn't hold up over the last few really cold nights!!

Found myself among the throngs of drivers with frozen nozzles, lines and the bottle itself, couldn't hear the little motor humming away even. Some hot water on the washer nozzles and lines etc helped resume normal service for a while.

Then on Friday the nozzles were spluttering and that tiny motor noiser, so running out of screen wash! Hunted around and the best I could find readily available at a reasonable price was Halfords own ready to use screen wash "Berry Scented" good down to -10C for £6.49.

Of course its "sods law", bought it yesterday and about to put it in today but now the weather has broken and the temperture is rising rapidly. Ah well, at least I should be ready if the mercury plummets again in the next  few months.

If you need something down to a much lower -20c then Halfords also have this but seems they are now running out of stock!

Stopped using Halfords some years ago as thought they had become more expensive but perhaps they've dropped prices somewhat.

Good to know thanks. Have got some -10C concentrate now Vs -10C ready mix I was using. The concentrated is going in after I've drained it this week.

Does anyone know the capacity of the screen wash reservoir?

At a guess 2.5 litres (at least). I put more than half of a 5litre tub in from memory.
