F/L Headlight Washer Jets
« on: 09 January 2015, 16:22:03 »
Noticed that my front headlight washers had stopped working so had a look at the pump.Putting 12 volts across it motor still failed to work ,but in the store cupboard I had a spare so fitted it and all working again.

Question though...The water spray from 1 side seems to completly miss the headlight and goes straight up onto the bonnet. :o

Is it possible to alter the angle/direction of the spray jets like on the P/F/L models

google Sealey AK52206, costs about £5.
I have one(somewhere!), because it was cheaper than that and looked useful. I should know better.

Generally I just use a needle.

Also, it's probably a bit long to adjust headlight washers.
