Litch:
"Unless it's an early one that has two separate jets rather than the twin jet in the middle."

One of the easiest, cheapest and most effective modifications to make to a 90/110 or Defender is to replace the two single-jet nozzles or single twin-jet nozzle with a pair of twin-jet items. The holes are already in the bulkhead and the standard pump is more than powerful enough to deliver the water at the necessary pressure.
I did this soon after buying my 90 11-years ago and haven't looked back since and everyone I know who has also done it comments of what an improvement it is. It is especially useful if your screen is covered in a lot of muck as the additional water really softens it allowing the wipers to do their stuff.

By the way, I agree that removing the top of the dash is by far the easiest way to replace the nozzle, it is done in a matter of minutes and saves all that fiddling about.

Saffy:
I discarded nozzle altogether and have a t piece there and hoses going up to each wiper blade where water is delivered direct to screen in a flood.

Well I sorted it in about a minute, thanks to Steve Shep.
The old nozzle had fallen off so all i did was pull the nozzle off the new unit and put it onto the old bit sticking out of the bulkhead.

Cheers steve. :clap:

wizard :twisted:
