Disable headlight washers D3

Not many street lights where I live, so loosing the headlight washers would be a bugger, especialy on salted roads.
They do use up the water, but if it's going that fast, are you sure you don't have a leak. They are very prone to leaking, and if they are then they sometimes will follow a headlight spray with dumping the rest of the reservoir contents on the road

No leak, thankfully. And it's more the fact that they spray all over the windscreen in addition to using tons of fluid that annoys me.

Mine do work well, but the aim is such only a small splash seems to get onto the bonnet. Apart from the motors running, you'd be hard to tell if anything actually came out.

I went through a phase of going through litres of screen wash, turns out I had a leak which was not really noticeable as it drips onto the engine undertray. Eventually the leak became catastrophic and they stopped working, and failed the MOT. Cause was a split joint, which once replaced all is good once more and hardly any washer fluid is used.

The D3 has an enlarged washer bottle to allow for the headlight washers, so it should last ages.

I have a leak somewhere, I'm convinced. Added 2 litres to the reservoir a week ago and it's already complaining about being low.
