Spray nozzles frozen

Hey! Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely give that cable connection a check during my next maintenance routine. As for my engine, it's a Gasoline v10. Ran about 135730 KM since the last time I serviced it. Hoping I can get it sorted with yours and the community's insight. Stay safe on the roads! Cheers!
Well hello again! Good to know your engine specifics! With your LFA using a Gasoline V10, I reckon the spray nozzle issue could actually be a result of multiple factors. Beyond just a defective cable or spray nozzle heater, you might also want to check your washer fluid. Sometimes, if the fluid is not rated for the colder temperatures, it can freeze up and cause problems like these. Ironically, I faced a similar issue a few winters back with my 2009 Lexus ISF. Switched my washer fluid to a winter-rated one and voila! Problem solved. Worth giving it a shot. Also, considering your car's high mileage, there might be certain parts due for replacement. When in doubt, it always helps to take it to a trusted mechanic. Good luck and keep me posted on how it goes! Safe travels. Cheers!
Wow, I hadn't even thought about the washer fluid. it's great to learn from the experience of others. I'll introduce this washer fluid into the checklist as I experiment with the different suggestions. I hope this solves my issue. And yeah, given the miles clocked, some parts replacement is due. Time to set a date with my mechanic! Again, thanks for sharing your wisdom. I'll definitely keep you posted. Keep revving! Cheers!
Hey there! I had a somewhat similar problem with my 2009 Lexus ISF (same family as yours, huh?). Now, fair warning, I'm not a car expert, but I do have some experience playing around with my own vehicles. It turned out to be a Cable connection issue for me. My mechanic checked it out and found that defective cable was causing the issue. A total of 95 Euro was all it took to fix. Smooth ride ever since then, I tell ya. Just to be sure, could you specify what kind of engine type your LFA uses? That info will help me narrow down any potential issues. Cheers!
