Check the nozzles are clear [use a pin or thin bit of wire] and then adjust where the spray hits the screen using said pin or bit of wire in the hole of the nozzle which in fact are spherical so are able to rotate slightly in their housings - if no improveent is noted report back and someone will offer you words of advice on what else to look for in what is basically a very simple system while your manservant brings you a nice cup of tea and a biscuit.
Whatever happened to Defender owners with a bit of application  Steve.
Owned numerous Land Rover vehicles of all shapes and sizes over the decades. Current Defender: A non tarts hand-bagged Puma 110 XS USW. [Insert something impressive here such as extensive list of previous Land Rovers or examples of your prestigeous and expensive items, trinkets, houses, bikes, vehicles etc] http://forums.lr4x4.com I used to be Miserable ...but now I'm ecstatic. |

I put it down to some owners never owning a Meccano set or building a crystal radio when young. 
Or as a young lad never even taking apart your mum and dads wind up alarm clock or similar to see how it worked  For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

I think the word 'flaccid' best describes the performance of the washer jet performance on my 2014 model. Although as with any pumped solution, there is a difference and trade off between pressure and volume to be considered. As others have indicated it might be worth adjusting the nozzles with a pin to get the fluid in the optimum position on the windscreen. Alternatively doing a D.I.Y. modification to get a four spray high pressure installation might be an option? |

Sounds to me like RRUK's Puma is suffering from an enlarged prostate. Trust me I'm a doctor. You'll either have to reamer it out (painful) or top it up with cranberry juice.
