Wndscreen wash and boot space

[GrahamV]

I bought my F Pace in spring this year. Happy for the most part but dissapointed with boot space and hopeless windscreen washers. Minor points perhaps but further disappointed with the response of Jaguar. They have seemed content to write off my comment and desire to have the points remedied by telling me that everything is 'as per design intent' so there is nothing needs be done. The windscreen washers just about wet the glass and the resulting smeared windscreen is impossible to see through for a few seconds. The jet hits the very bottom of the glass below the parked wiper. There is no adjustment available. Does any one have any suggestions on a remedy, for safety if nothing else. Regards the boot space, I opted for a full size spare wheel. This comes with the warning that boot space is reduced but it is 'Heath Robinson' to say the least. It is a simple raised box lid, not well fitted, and grit and the like fall under to the battery and electrics beneath. Is there anyone out there who can help me sort the windscreen washer and the boot space?

Hi Graham,

My S type also has the optional "proper" spare wheel, which does limit the boot space, although the car was designed to have a spare wheel and the same is already there.

I am afraid that many new cars dealers as well as Jaguar are rather good at selling cars but not very good at the after sales service.

The windscreen washer?  Is it in the wiper or a fitting on the bonnet?  A pin is ofter useful adjust the latter, as you probably know, but if it is part pf the wiper assembly then you will have to take it off and try to adjust it so that the jet hits the windscreen higher up where it ought to be. Jaguar will need a bit pf pestering to do it as yjry should

Regards,

Peter.
