Typical, take the kids to knowsley safari park and this big baboon jumps on top of the bonnet. It was very funny at first but then the bleeder starts cheing at the washer jet. I took action be speeding up, braking hard and steering from side to side, but it wouldn't get off. I even squirted fluid (which was a fairly high concentrate) and it just starting drinking it.

Anyone know if windscreen jets are standard across all cars - can I get one from halfords ? or do I need to go to a subaru dealer?

Had the same problem myself a few years ago. Refused to take the Scooby into the park so we went in my wife's new almera. One Baboon pi55ed on the windscreen while the others were on top of the car at the back removing the rear washer and tubing!!!

Also seen loads of bent wipers etc.

They do say take in at your own risk

Scouse baboon stole...
Just think yerself lucky. If you'd stopped they'd have takent the wheels as well.

Wouldn't drive anything worth more than £100 through a Safari Park (or Albert Dock )
