The answer to a squeezy bottle.Instead of a cold/wet arm reaching out the side window,and over to the windscreen to clear it.
Well I am sorry if you find it difficult to understand what I have posted because of my poor english, but I didn't have as good as education as most people but I do try, maybe you would prefer it if people like me didn't post. I did however think it it was a welding forum not a forum to be ridiculed because I don't know where to place a few dots etc. For your information I did however manage to form and run a very successful business employing people much more educated than myself and probably yourself for that matter. I think people like you get pleasure from trying to belittle others.

Nothing wrong with that, so it shows that you are perfectly able to punctuate to a decent standard. Nobody is belittling you, just asking for a little help with clarity. The forum is about communication, so surely it is worth spending a few more moments to ensure that your message is clear?

When the Citroen DS was in development they considered fitting hydraulically powered cooling fans, hydraulically powered windscreen wipers, hydraulically powered alternator, hydraulically powered window lifters and a hydraulically powered starter motor. Their hydraulic motors weighed one sixth of an equivalent electric motor.
In the end they settled for suspension, brakes, steering and on some models a semi-automatic gearbox. The hydraulic system runs at 2500 psi, so when you stamp on the mushroom shaped brake pedal it stops on a sixpence and gives change.

You have my apologies @Claud 1 . I'm a little short tempered recently, fed up with a few things going on in our world right now. But please don't try to tell me you don't know where or when to put in a few commas or full stops, because you have, above ^. Me, I've made it a rule not to read posts that are one long sentence. We all make typo mistakes, misspel, miss those commas, put too many in etc, but to just opt out of bothering, well feel free, I shan't bother reading, quite simply it just annoys me, I can't help it. Sorry.

The Xantia had something similar - at least the early ones did. The brake pedal was like an on/off switch on the one my ex-wife had. Or maybe it was just the way she drove it

Try the early 80s Turbo Esprit. Turbocharger forces air into inlet manifold. Brake servo uses manifold depression.
Errr...
My mate's was so bad he thought the servo was shot so had it rebuilt: no difference.
As an experiment he fitted the electric vac pump from a Discovery and the Esprit nearly flat-spotted all four tyres
Apparently 'they all do that sir'; you get a couple of good pumps and then nothing until the next bit of over-run sucks the servo down again.
Later cars, unsurprisingly, got a belt-driven vacuum pump...

Lancia integrale simply runs a non-return valve - can't say I ever noticed the servo vacuum run out - even while left foot braking while keeping the right foot down to keep the revs up, the turbo spinning and the power instantly there while competing in a sprint on quite a long course. Might just be a big servo I suppose.Try the early 80s Turbo Esprit. Turbocharger forces air into inlet manifold. Brake servo uses manifold depression.

No words!
