Re: Pathetic windscreen washer jets
There is an easy fix to this problem. I fixed mines last week. You need to remove the wiper arms which are Cnut. To save cracking your windscreen like I done get a ball joint separator from halfords £11. Remove the scuttle panel. Remove the wiper mechanism by undoing the three bolts. Remove the washer tank it is held by one bolt you will see it.

Pull the two black barrels from the washer tank and pull off the two hoses. These are your motors for the windscreen and the headlights. At the bottom of these motors you will see a White piece of plastic holding a black piece where the hoses attach. Open this up and remove the rubber cylinder whith a pair of needle nose pliers.

Trim around 5 mm of each side with a very sharp knife and re assemble.

Put every thing back together and watch those jets gush like a fire hose.

There is a guide with pictures on how to remove the mechanism ect.

okay man thanks for that, ill give that a try when the rain decides to stop, if it does. if i dont get the time will it pass an mot like it or should i get it done first?

yeah some places would fail it mate. Its an easy job once you get the wiper arms off.

You can pull the washer motor out without removing wiper arms.
