Two potentially silly questions
Have just taken delivery of my 06 Metropolis and very pleased I am so far.
Several things have bugged me all fixed using the quick start guide manual.
Two things I cant seem to to suss out:-
1, how to get the windscreen washers and wipers to work at the same time, Im obviously missing something here as the rear wiper keeps going!
2, how to get the rear roof a/c to work, I can switch it on via the main dash and can hear the rear fan running, but no air seems to come out of the vents?
Rear heating is controlled by the ac controls in the front, think of hand if you look down were the front heated screen button is its somewhere to the left of that you can switch to rear control or front Not sure what you mean about the wipes though could be me
Pushing the stick back and fwd controls the rear wiper and its wash, up down is front wipers push the end for wash Altox GSM FBH controller thread

Yes Ive got that far and can hear the rear fan running, the switch allows the drive to switch off the rear unit totally, or control the rear temp, or allow them to control it themselves, but no air is coming out of the vents.
I will have a further play tomorrow.

Daz you are a star.
Press and hold and can hear pump running all the time button held but no water on the screen, so just maybe theres no water in the bottle
Ps dont tell anyone I service trucks for a living
Right try this, FRONT WIPERS put then in auto mode which is in position 1 ie 1 click up.
Then if you press the end of that same stork (wiper switch) you should get water and wipers together.
REAR WIPER. Once you've set the front to auto pull that same stork towards the steering wheel and it should click into place and the rear wiper will start. Pull it towards the steering some more and you will get water.
REMEMBER If you want to keep the blades on your wipers then turn auto wipe off on icy mornings ie the 0 position.
Hope this helps

No water on front screen unless you pull stalk towards you.
Rear wiper and headlamp washers all working fine.
Getting cold now and to dark to work outside!

Worked out what is going on and it seems to be about face!
Push button on the end of the stalk and REAR washer only works, pull stalk towards you and front screen washer works along with the rear wiper!
Starting to think some muppet has either wired or plumbed the pumps in the wrong way.
Anyone know where the pumps are?

Pipes can be swapped over without too much hassle.
A few screws holding the front of the arch liner in place, it can then be peeled back.to expose the pumps and pipes My D3 Build Thread

Sussed rear air con unit, I didnt realise its got a flow direction control, so as I could hear the air blower going it was actually blowing air into the load space, switch it to vents and works a treat.
