this is so simple Im sure you've already heard of it, but I thought it was brilliant.

You can easily rig up the waterspray from the wiper motor to spray onto your FMIC or even add another washer bottle and motor (bout $24 from Repco) and switch, bung in a couple of sprinkler jets from Bunnings and hey presto water cooled FMIC ... Ive got a humungus FMIC on the Nissan... damn good idea I thought :) will add a couple of sprinkler jets and hose to the FMIC, bugger the windscreen :) Then it'll be a squeeze of the wiper doovy for a nice spray of water over the FMIC on demand..

It's not a new idea - long before FMICs when I was a poor student & couldn't afford to fix my mini's blown head gasket, I redirected the windscreen washers to the radiator for extra cooling :wink:

Did you have to drive along pumping that little button on the dash to keep going? <mental image quite funny>
