Heated windscreen washers
Disco Matt:
Yep, I found those but is the nozzle on a Disco the same as that on a Rangie? I thought the Range Rover had them on the bonnet rather than tucked under the trailing edge of the bonnet?
Disco Matt:
Looking at the Range Rover part and the jets on mine, I suspect they might well be identical. Only snag is I don't really know, and shelling out £12 for parts that won't fit doesn't grab me. Can anyone confirm whether they are identical or not?

Here is my trick and I have done it every winter since I bought my first car 8 years ago.
I drain all the water out of the system then buy windscreen washer fluid and dont dilute it as much as it says too. The stuff from co-op already made that you just pour in is ok to -5 it says on the bottle and so far touch wood my 2 cars havent frozen up yet. It also means that it wont freeze on the screen too if you havent got the car warm enough to have the screen toastie warm.
Only costs about £2 I think. Bargain :D

I have had this mod for about 4 years now however in the summer the screen wash cooks a bit and you end up spending a lot of time checking the temP guage and checking the coolant level because the smells are similar!
Disco Matt:
I think I might well go for the heated jets from a Range Rover - only snag is I have no idea of how big they are. Could someone put a ruler over theirs and let me know? The Disco jets don't appear to be sloped like the Rangie ones but that shouldn't be a problem, just so long as I can aim them to hit the windscreen!
Information on what fuse they need and how it's wired would be helpful too - will I be ok to just patch them into the heated rear window circuit or do I need to wire them from scratch?
