how easy to fit the new ones?

and if its just a case of pushing them in, how come they dont stay in when you push them back in after the ice pushes them out the first time? :confused:

I'll let you know when it arrives :) Looks quite easy though - maybe add a spec of superglue or clear sealent????
 
In out in out you do the hoky koky and you turn around thats what its all about heay :) my jets are ok just now but keep an eye on them
 
No, I should get a dad who doesn't ask to see my winter rims when it's -8 outside :p

*snigger*


I bet he comes and feels at your radiators too to see if they need bleeding.

I bet Halfords must hate you going into their shop if you have that effect on their products.

Just as a matter of interest can you turn lead into gold or water to wine?

I can turn wine into water if that's any help. :D And gold into CASH! Visit my website: wwww.nickyourmumsjewelleryandsellittometofundyourcrackhabit.com

Think I heard you changed the whole think i.e the bit the tube is in. Looks like have to take the plastic trim off for that. I have just superglued mine until visit the dealer. just make sure you have the aim right!
 
The drivers side one on mine popped out the other day. Stuck it back in myself buy the wife mentioned this to the dealership when she took it in last week for the central locking to be sorted and they said to her that this wasn't covered by the warranty.
Is someone telling her porkies?
This was at the Preston dealership
 
My washers have completely failed now. :( All the little jets are still in place and the fluid is full - but nothing - front and back. Has to be something to with the washer motor/pump because its silent when its engaged. And the wipers come on as usual when the stalk is used. Hmmph.
