You could fail an MOT if they don't work...…..

They only work when the lights are on. You also have to use the windscreen washers for several seconds before the headlight ones work.

I've had my D3 over four years and didn't realise till very recently that they work individually, or not at the same time. Near side first, then the offside.

Ooo excited they work. I just wasn't holding the washers on long enough.

Thanks for the expertise

One of the good changes they made from the D2, as with that, when driving at night and you used the washers, the lights were completely useless. It was like switching the lights off and then on again.

Now you know, you'll be refilling the washer bottle more often. +++
