Did mine on Monday, it was a fiddlejust made sure the pipes were on the washer jets when they were poked through, then put a washer and nut on the pipe so that they didn't dissappear when I was fiddling the nut on the thread. I kept the length of pipes from the washers to the "T" piece the same in the hope that it would keep an equal pressure throughout the pipework, probably not needed but it Whistle satisfied my OCD

Tried to find if that mod also works on a TD4, but no result. Anyone tried it?

I love finding posts where I have gone through the exact pain that someone else has! In the process of doing this Mod. Tolley, I have my flourescent tube hanging from the rearview mirror too! Rolling with laughter

I did this mod but fitted 2 single washer jets to the outside and kept the original twin jet in the centre. On the drive it all worked great. In practice, at motorway speeds ( Question ) it was just a horrible little dribble that wouldn't even reach the screen Crying or Very sad

Now in bits again whilst I (i) test the centre washer jet with a replacement to see if it's just that losing all the pressure or (ii) replace the two outer washers with twin jet versions.

Getting a bit fed up with taking the dash to bits Smile

Yep, done it to my 300tdi. Easy job to do.

I pulled out the dash top ashtray to expose the washer pipe connection with the washer nozzle. Undid the brass nut, pulled the pipe off, inserted a 'T' piece (available from aquatic shops and at BnQ in their hosepipe section).
Then using some similar pipe to existing, I fed a piece into the hole next to the wiper arm from the outside, and fished it through the dash and out of the ashtray hole, and connected to the 'T' piece. Repeated on the other wiper arm.
I tie clipped the pipe along each wiper arm and then connected it to a Peugeot spray arm - about £12 from Peugeot dealer, or cheaper from scrap yard.

The original washer nozzle remains, but unconnected. Though with a suitable '+' piece no doubt you could utilise that too?


This is what I did... http://www.reedx.net/landrover/mods/wipers/index.htm Good source of info REEDX.net.

The multiple Defender washers works really well too. Have a friend with 3 of them up front, goes through washer fluid like it was water... uhhh yeah anyway... Rolling Eyes[/url]

Are they all 'double' washers? Got my original disconnected at the moment and haven't yet tried a replacement. Was expecting to have to block this up and fit 2 twin jet washers in place of my current (after mod) single jets.

What do you fill the hole with in the centre where the original washer jet was... do you just move the grommet from LHD arm? And does it fit onto the same hole?
