Glad to be of help - ps ordinary bulbs now last a long time and are far cheaper than LEDs and the associated cabling / transformers / additional bits!! A couple of extra fish for my supper or beers for you! :-))

Hopefully found the fault, looks like its the header tank cap, I have the overflow into a small bottle with a little coolant in , as soon as the slightest pressure starts to build it escapes into the bottle , had a new 13 lbs cap so changed it for the original - no more bubbles in the bottle , took the car out for a decent drive today, heater worked fine all the time, temp stayed at 1/2, as soon as I pulled up at home I popped the bonnet, the coolant was bang on level no bubbles in the bottle have ordered a correct 16 lbs cap + I will flush and refill with the correct coolant Mine has the aux heater so I will remove the pipe under the car to drain just to make sure I get all the old coolant out Thanks Dave

From what I remember, they don’t pop up every time... I think they pop up and spray the lights every 3 or 4 times you spray the windscreen.

I noticed on my mk v that both of the pipes had come off the actual washer units. I was going through 5 litres of screen wash really quickly ? anyhow, I simply jacked up the front of the car slightly and reached up inside the bumper and re attached them. Other than that you could check the fuse.

Do the job the correct way. (1) Forward flush [notbackflush] to get a lifetimes gunk out (2) use only HOAT Comma G05 Xstream coolant. When I did my "inlineMOD" I : - used 5L G05 +5L de-ionised water - hose pipe in the expansion bottle, loosen bottom hose CRITICAL ** set temp to highest/fan set to highest to clear the matrix - clean hose in water @ same rate as dirty out - when perfectly clear - tighten bottom hose - 5L G05 + 5L de-ionised in expansion bottle - start engine / full heat / full fan blower - let it ''burp' from filler cap until it reaches temp Never back-flush, best of luck.
