As I was setting off from North Wales to London yesterday, in the first hour of the drive, I run out of windscreen wash fluid. The odd thing is that I didn't receive a warning of low fluid. Just wondering whether the Mustang has this feature or is there a fault with mine?

That's an odd place to find a couple of dollars savings...but there you go; one lives and learn i.e carry some screenwash with you - plenty of storage place where the spare wheel should have been :)

Everytime I wash my car, i'm filling it up, the salt and sand mix on the roads is fucking disgusting for the wind screen!

As someone pointed out in an almost identical thread recently... when it's stops working... that's your low fluid warning (great thinking by Ford as a way to help keep the Mustang affordable to the masses) :frusty: !

As [MENTION=27992]nick1[/MENTION] suggests, keep a bottle of 'ready mix' in the spare wheel well in the boot.

Not exactly 21st century tech... but it's a solution (literally)!

I'll admit, I was pretty surprised the S550 doesn't have a low fluid warning. I expected my old SN95 to have one, but found out the hard way last winter that it didn't!

I assume my S197 doesn't either......but I've never had to refill it since it never goes out in weather crappy enough to need to use screenwash :p
