Merry Christmas everyone.

I'm sure my high level rear brake light used to have a small metal nozzle in for directing the water jet onto the window but it's now gone. Consequently I'm getting a non-discript shower of droplets which don't hit the window.

It's not the internal hose (part number LR023180) it's a part that used to be on the lense. The missus has got me a new clear rear lense but that hasn't got the metal nozzle in either. Am I going mad or is there another part I need to order?

Thanks

Watch the video on the powerful site, this may help.

Further I would check the pipe for any blockages.
Test the wash head whilst it is dismantled.


Good Luck

Hi

Thanks for the help. Ive watched those videos in the past but from memory they seem to concentrate on changing out the light. I'll have another look though. Still not sure if there is a little metal nipple missing here.

I don't have any metal nipple on mine. That is why I suggested checking the pipe for blockage.

From the video you can see the red plastic nipple is only supported in the high level brake lamp, there is no other attachment.

Good Luck

Just watched the video again and I though I noticed a small metal nozzle in the end of the red hose pipe but I may have been mistaken. I have learned from the video that the lense is just a 'holder' for the nozzle so if anything is missing I think it's from the hose. I'll have a better look at the car tomorrow. Cheers again Paul

There is definitely not a metal nipple on the jet but there is a (small rubber o ring seal) which does perish over time & without it in place the screen wash does flow back into the car ending up with a wet boot.

Thanks. I think I'll order a new hose and change that when I do the light swap. Appreciate your time. Thank you

It's plastic, red plastic on the red lights and white plastic on the clear lights, I've just dug out my old red light that got replaced by a clear one and taken some pictures, the end has turned white (I'm guessing due to screen wash and UV light) 2007 TD4 XS Manual in Sumatra Black

Thanks for your help. I replaced the light and hose yesterday. The original red lense was fine but the end of the plastic hose had snapped off hence the poor distribution of water. All working fine now.

Appreciate all the help.

Happy New Year to all forum members.
