My washer jet sheared off this morning so needed to visit e bay for a quick replacement at a sensible price and saw this!!!
Postage seemed a bit hefty though 
DRW http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jet-Windscreen-W...41748bd2eb I built a garage for my Mini With a place for everything and everthing in its place. Ten years down the line there's a Mini in there somewhere, and  all's where it should be!!!! Ho hum |

Mine sheered off a couple of years ago, went to local Indi and he super glued I back on worked foe a number of years and was still working when I got rid of it. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to us off.

StrathEARN. I got my last one from there and guess what... You can buy only the nozzle without the shaft. Genuine part too. 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

The part is two component unit and the outside double jet can be bought seperately.
Genuine green oval packaging. Also saves having to seperate the two part which should be avoided as it make the problem worse. 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS.. |

Mine have popped over numerous times over the years on several LR's.... just whack them back on. It never seems to have made them any weaker or more likely to come off again.

You have kinda proven my point. Mine popped once and lost it then renewed it but as you say yours have popped numerous times... 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

Thanks didn't really look about for the missing section, hoping the new ones arrive tomorrow. I have bought vast amounts of screen wash now just need the jets to send it in the right direction but based on the temperature here over the last couple of days it might be a bit on the chilly side for fannying about in the dark so I might just bang one back on meantime.
