Hello, on my sport my red light for my washer fluid is permanantly on. Iv obviously filled it up but still it stays on, so i assume the sensor has broke or something? Any ideas? If it is the sensor is it easy to fix etc.. cheers

I had the same prob.

Took out the sensor, gave it a good clean, cleaned the electrical contacts up.

Worked properly again ever since...

Twist the sensor 180 degrees in the washer bottle first!

if you remove the sensor from the washer bottle it is obvious how it works and where to clean it up, if this fails try a new sensor but check wiring for breaks before buying a new sensor
