Headlight washers come on and stay on when i turn lights on main beam- fine on half beam. Couldn't see where I was going to begin with for all the spray on my window and now wash tank is empty. Any ideas, other than letting the motor burn out? Thanks.

Hi. My Octy went nicely into reverse and then decided it didn't want to try any of the other gears. Clutch depresses fine but it was a two-hander to get it out of gear. Could get the car into 2nd and above but not first. Have been told it might be the clutch cylinder sleeve and that it's a gearbox out job. Thing is I've just spent a couple of hundred on a new starter motor this week and I can't really stand a massive bill. I'm not very knowledgable so I'd appreciate any opinions on the problem and how much I might expect to pay for that kind of work... Cheers.

No amount of pressing the fob unlocks the others, I'm afraid. You can hear that the pump(?) is only trying to unlock the drivers door, which led me to believe the others had become disconnected, until I got in the car and tried the buttons on the driver's door, which worked it fine. Because of this audible lack of effort from the other doors when using the fob, I'm fairly convinced it's a setting that's been altered rather than a malfunction. I am, of course, guessing!

My central locking only unlocks the driver's door on the fob. In all other respects it works fine. All doors lock with fob and the buttons on the drivers door work. Reading the manual it seems that this may have been reprogrammed by me pressing the fob too much or somthing. Anyone know if this is the case and if there is an easy fix? I've tried using the key manually, which works but doesn't reset it. Much appreciated.

Just to confirm, booted it to the limit just now. Not a flicker. For those out there about to do this, the actuator does require a reasonable bit of pressure so don't be shy. I figured it was done when I could feel it hit a definite stopping point each time and it didn't seem to be changing in resistance anymore. A couple of hours with regular pumping stints is good advice. Had to move a fat air pipe to get my tiny arms down the back of the engine and did things by feel more than sight, but it worked! Thanks again and happy motoring.
