Did mine on Monday, it was a fiddlejust made sure the pipes were on the washer jets when they were poked through, then put a washer and nut on the pipe so that they didn't dissappear when I was fiddling the nut on the thread. I kept the length of pipes from the washers to the "T" piece the same in the hope that it would keep an equal pressure throughout the pipework, probably not needed but it satisfied my OCD

Tried to find if that mod also works on a TD4, but no result. Anyone tried it?

I did this mod but fitted 2 single washer jets to the outside and kept the original twin jet in the centre. On the drive it all worked great. In practice, at motorway speeds ( ) it was just a horrible little dribble that wouldn't even reach the screen
Now in bits again whilst I (i) test the centre washer jet with a replacement to see if it's just that losing all the pressure or (ii) replace the two outer washers with twin jet versions. Getting a bit fed up with taking the dash to bits Tony |

This is what I did... http://www.reedx.net/landrover/mods/wipers/index.htm Good source of info REEDX.net. The multiple Defender washers works really well too. Have a friend with 3 of them up front, goes through washer fluid like it was water... uhhh yeah anyway... [/url] |

Are they all 'double' washers? Got my original disconnected at the moment and haven't yet tried a replacement. Was expecting to have to block this up and fit 2 twin jet washers in place of my current (after mod) single jets. Tony |

What do you fill the hole with in the centre where the original washer jet was... do you just move the grommet from LHD arm? And does it fit onto the same hole?
