I can't remember if it's always done this but my 03 S2 'leaks' water from its windscreen washer nozzles in a little squirt (only enough to get about 5cm up the window) if I break firmly (I'm talking vigorously breaking for roundabouts on the road here not emergency stops or 'on the edge' track manoeuvres here). Is this normal? If not, what could be the issue?

None of this is important, but just asking for interest. I had a great drive today (although I left it with the top off only for a hail storm to fill the seats before I could get back, but no bother) a great car and still makes every drive an event after 4 years

I have the odd niggle but this is a new one on me - had my 05 111r around 4 years too and never experienced it.
