How do you change the front window washer jets on a 110 ?
Its got me stumped at the moment.

You need to take off the top of the dash and you can then get to it
-
or if you have little hands and a bit of patience you can pop the ashtray out and do it through the hole there.
-
lots of swearing and frustration going thru the ashtray I know, had to train my
monkey mrs to do it :lol: takes 10minute max to take top off the dash as it only a few easy screws and you get full access to the jet rear and wiper mechs and might even find a coin or two.

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

"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.
-
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:
