replacing front windscreen washer jet
Hi,
Need to do this on both 110's

It looks as if I need to get at the back of the jet from within the cab. Is it a case of pulling the radio out of the centre console and getting at it that way or can I take the top of the dashboard instead?

On a related note, some cars seem to have the washer jets actually on the wiper blades. Anyone done that instead?

The plastic jobby bit comes off from the front, it just feels as if it doesn't cos it's stiff so a 10 min job to replace
Britpart AMR3025 for a couple of quid.

( if broken as mine did in an auto car wash in Switzerland where the roller couldn't climb up the vertical windscreen of a Landy and we had to hit the wash crash stop button Whistle )

Other folk yes, then replumb the front with new lines to the wipers. Many posts on that, great idea (but I'm waiting for the rain to stop here in England ...) Sold the much modified 110 2.8, in Oz
Brought the 90 home from Switzerland ...

If you dont want to run pipes out to the wipers it is very worth while mod to add a second jet. Simply use the existing holes on the bulkhead at both passenger and drivers side and block the centre one with a gromit. Only needs a short length of pipe and a 'T' piece.

Well worth the effort!

o.k. thanks for the info on just replacing the head of the washer.

Also, putting in 2 of them in sounds even better
