Try Lidl, their stuff is fantastic and very reasonably priced. I used it all last winter here in the highlands at down to -15 and no problems with freezing. My Halford's concentrate freezes in the bloody bottles up here!

I put IPA in mine for when it's really cold and some decent screen wash. No freezing up then!

Alcohol will always help - specially if you get stuck - something to drink.... Laughing

VAG stuff is good to -70c neat. Got to using it on all my previous VWs for it was the only stuff that kept the fan spray front screen washers working fully without any clogging. Still buy it by the case for a good discount.

Heads up for VAG, couldn't agree more, their De-icer Spray is also not notch as well

Why / how is it freelander 2s use some much washer fluid. I fill my wires peugeot 207 up with washer fluid once at the annual service, whereas my freelancer drinks the stuff every other week! Costs a fortune to fill up with washer fluid (as well as fuel!). '09 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto

Headlight washers perhaps, or the windscreen washers are very powerful and the rear one does put an awful lot out!
It is a vehical that can go where others can't!
