aside from my current MY13 - all my previous FL2's have leaked badly.

I have the leak from the washer nozzle. I have the light apart but can't figure out how to remove the nozzle without busting something! Any ideas please. |

I was able to pull the nozzle straight off without damaging anything and found that the rubber O-ring had perished. I wasn't sure if the O-ring should sit in the recess near the tip of the nozzle or further up the nozzle against the flange. I tried a 5.5 mm x 1mm O-ring against the flange and couldn't get the nozzle to engage, so ended up fitting a 4.5mm x 1mm O-ring in the recess. It hasn't leaked since. |

Thank you so much for the help. I managed to remove the nozzle without breakage by just pulling and hoping! I found an 'o' ring to fit and it all went back together very easily. And no water so far, fingers crossed!

There's a video here showing how to change the brake light, but they don't mention the O ring on the washer jet which came away when I changed mine.

Yes under warranty they will do the whole unit. Had mine replaced TWICE on my MY13. Sold it before it needed a third replacement. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

No sorry it was pretty poor so I reverted to the original bulb - didn't seem to suit the refraction pattern of the lens - much better now No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS "Fiat Lux" a philosophy not a car |
