Why not send a PM to JamesV6CDX? He's breaking a Meega at the moment. He may be able to help.  :)

I too faced that problem....Wasn't prepared to pay that sort of money SO just got normal ones for £4.95 per pair.

Always found that even if the water DID fly out of the jets it would freeze on the wind screen so kinda point less in my opinion.

Never had that problem, infact I've found that when I washed the screen I then had 4 'spy holes' to peer down the road through.  :y  :y

You can time them when it's next frosty.  ::) You'll end up with 2 defrosted circles on car's bonnet

I still have to remove the passenger side bonnet jet on my 97 elite to be able to remove the pipe blockage.

Anyone able to explain to me how you disconnect it?  I would be very grateful.

From the under side of the bonnet you depress the tab on each side of the nozzle & it comes out from the top. You might need a little hot water or hair dryer to warm the plastic water pipe to soften it enough for you to remove it with out breaking the stub pipe on the nozzle.

        Were they from Vauxhall or from a parts shop ?  Are they the same shape ?
