Saw that this morning on a TV report, so it would seem it is essential to use screen wash and just clean the filter out when it gets blocked eventually. ;)

I still love this marque and I will still be around, preferred selling to breaking, as a great runner and performer"

There was a thread on the club site a short while ago about changing your washers from the jet type as fitted, to the mist type. The mist type are the most dangerous as the droplet size easy to inhale.
I used to work for an environmental laboratory which specialised in Legionella and chlorination with bleach or heating water to almost boiling was the way to kill it in hot water systems. The temp under the bonnet probably ideal for growing this in your water bottle.
You can drink water infected, no danger, it's inhaling the droplets thats dangerous. If you are severely infected or immuno compromised there is virtually no cure and your brown bread :shock: Dave
