Replacement windscreen washer jets ?

[The Voices]

Has anyone found a suitable replacement for the original washer jets for the 2002-2004 S-Type ?

I have one that seems to stop working for no reason, the replacement Jaguar ones are about £20 each !

Someone must manufacture them for Jaguar, wondered if there was a cheaper alternative supplier ?

Hi Jon, 

They are a touch expensive. I wonder if Breaker Yard could source them for you.

Another alternative is to fit [if possible] the post facelift system.

Regards,

Peter.

If there the bonnet mounted ones then they're the same as the ones fitted to the Mgf/tf and a popular mod is to fit those from a Renault megane.

Hi Jon

there basically a ford item, so many ford use them, try eBay

also you can get them off eBay, ford ones , look exact the same heated, so no more frozen washer jets, nice upgrade

Thanks for the replies.

The Ford ones don't look like they will fit as they don't appear to have the inbuilt 'spring clip' fitting that the originals have ?

Purchased a set of the Bosch aero wipers this afternoon which have washer nozzles on the wiper itself.

I have fitted the wipers but not had chance to look at what I will need to do to re-route the pipework.

As an aside, I tried a bizarre suggestion to soak the troublesome jet in coca-cola (Pepsi in my case !)

After taking the 'Pepsi challenge', I blasted water through from a spray bottle and got a load of 'gunge' out of the nozzle.

Now refitted and working fine so far !

I bought a set of these for my MGF, they seem very good, although not fitted them yet:

Thanks for the info.

I really just want an alternative source for the original ones if possible.
