as far as I know you can only buy the whole thing , and there a pig to fit
but I have always managed to put the pipe bit in a vice and pull the outer bit off and push it on to the stub sticking out of your bulkhead could use small amount of glue to stick it more permanent |

I recently lost mine and bought this one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Landrover-Defend...33636aa9e0 Clamp the threaded end in a vice, then knocked the end off with a mallet and block of wood. Then needs a really good shove to fit over the existing pipe bit. |

The fitting is not too bad... takes a little bit of time and you need to dismantle the dash, but it is easy enough. (and when you have it opened up there is a multitude of other things that you can do too)
When you are at it 'upgrade' and fit a second washer, then you will have 4 jets and a screen that gets cleaned much better. You will see there are 3 holes on the bulkead, your existing washer is in the middle one, use the other 2 for your new washers and plug the middle one with a gromit. All you need is a t-piece and small length of washer tubing which you can get from a motor factor .... or Hellfrauds! Well worth doing! |

Cheers Mean Green.
Gona do a quick fix at the moment and come back to do a better job later. Funny thing is I have to jets at the moment, one on top of the other ? Only the bottom ones works though. I must have a weird Landy

Come to think of it, it would be an ideal time to convert the washers from single to twin head which is a whole lot better, especially if you go playing at Glentarkie!

Mean Green.
Took the top of the dash off and got to it. You do need small hand (which I don't have) nut managed eventually ! All done and dash back together ! Cheers for the advice. Duncan |

No problem .. that's what these forums are for
Did you go for the upgrade with the extra double jet? It makes a big difference. It was a long time ago that I changed mine, but I seem to remember that you get better access by taking the stereo fascia and switch panel off, you can then gain access to the nut (I think! ) |
