What has been noticeable when using the V8 in very (for the UK) cold weather
is the number of modern cars that have to stop on the motorway to clear
their screens by hand 'cos the washer system has frozen up.  I had a
Vauxhall where the bottle was in the front wing and was frozen solid for a
week despite having an 'antifreeze' solution.  The nozzles also freeze up as
being further down the bonnet than on a B they are in the freezing
air-stream and get super cooled.  By contrast the V8 has its bottle high up
at the back of of the engine compartment and the nozzles and bulk of the
tubing are effectively in the cabin.  I've never known them freeze even with
plain water.
