Purchased a brand new 08 plate v50 1.6 diesel, when returning home, got out of the car to take a general look around it to then find quite a noticable ding on the pasenger side rear wheel arch which wasn't there when viewing the car first time. Didn't think to look around the car today during picking it up because obviously you don't expect that. So it's got to go back to get repaired, also, when activating the window washers the washers for the lights are not rising up like they should or am I forgetting something?

Nice to see someone in Wolverhampton has money AJ :)

AJ740, it always helps to look in the owners manual. According to mine the headlight washers do not :grin: work if you have halogen lights and they are not switched on. Then they only spray the first and every fifth wash (in a 10 minute time span) to conserve water. Bi-Xenon lights must get dirty without swtching them on as they spray every fifth time in the parking and off position of the switch as well! Frankly I have never stood in front of my V50 while someone operated the washers to see what happens - it could be handy though if I was out in the car and urgently needed somewhere to wash my hands - or something else :grin:

thanks for the info platypup, i now know they work
