Did very early Suds have screenwashers?
In the front of Haynes there is a photo of a 1973 Sud.....I can see the screenwash nozzles.
But no sign of them on the early wiring diagram?

Seems there was a manual push on the dash on very early cars.

Re: Screenwash
I had a vague recollection about that Dave but As I was only 8 when I sat in Dads first Sud I couldn’t be certain

Re: Screenwash
Yes, i believe they had a manual pump. That is why some S1 indicator stalks do not have the button on the end.
Re: Screenwash
Not many of us remember manual screen washers!
Re: Screenwash
There were 2 sets of early column switches on ebay....NOS.
£35 each.
Didn't have the screenwash button on the end, but I was prepared to wire that to a seperate switch, or put a manual one on.
Until someone in Oz bought both sets overnight!
I think my Dads Mk1 Cortina had manual screenwash push button.......but the 60's are a long time ago!
