Stolen clio 182 headlight washer (folkestone)

[jp1987]

Last night whilst my car was parked in a very discreet place on private resident parking someone has removed the drivers side headlight washer jet on my clio 182! if anyone knows of anyone in the folkestone area who was after this part and now suddenly has it can you let me know as I would like to have a few words with them.

Cheers

Tell me about it, surely they should respect other peoples cars (and hard work) but as you say pikeys!

Thanks mate

I had some one pinch my wiper blades once lol.

I payed £12 for a new headlight washer though mate, from a dealer too

Some effort! they are bolted on arnt they?

They probs just kicked it off.

 

[jp1987]

Well it prompted me to buy some carbon washer blanks but that's not the point! Don't think it was kicked off as it was parked right off the road in a private parking area and there was no other damage or the washer anywhere!

£12 they definitely must be pikeys!!

 

[Howell]

I wouldnt bother with the washer blanks tbh mate, Xenon headlights need to have the washers to pass the mot iirc

Yeah and they are bolted on

 

[jp1987]

Ahhh no! dodn't realise that! even though mine didn't work anyway??

^ Yeah from next year all cars with Xenons must have working washers to pass an MOT.

Where can I find more info on this?

Have a read on there mate, i couldnt find anything but only had a quick browse. My mates just passed his mot license and he was told that the regulations are changing and that is one of them that he mentioned to me.

I do like those carbon washer blanks though :butt:

Its more likely come loose and fell off by the sounds of things.. there bolted on and would be an absoloute b**ch to get off without damaging the bumper, And why would they only take the one?? :S

Remove the arch liner and look for a large bolt on the undertray
