Ok then, I decided to take a little gamble and ordered one of the 'mist' jets from a Ford dealer - part number 1830769. I can confirm that it is a straight swap with the LR jet apart from the heater plug (will have to sort this later) and it gives a far superior spread of water onto the screen - a very worthwhile upgrade Thumbs Up Cheers,

Thanks for this, do you think its as simple as just cutting the connector off and wiring up the old connector to it? Only 2 wires? Does it even matter if you spliced one wire into a different one?

It is just a case of cutting the Ford connector off and soldering & heatshrinking the LR back on. It is just 2 black wires and polarity is not an issue as they are not earthed.
One thing I have noticed is that the spread of water is very wide and I angled the jets inwards (there is a small amount of slack to allow this ) to prevent soaking pedestrians walking on the pavement. Laughing Cheers,

SE wouldn't have heated jets, would it?

Struggling to find this dam part on the internet. Is there a prefix like LRXXX?

Its not a Land Rover part, 1830769 is listed as a heated washer jet for a Ford Transit Connect 2013 to 2015. You might have to order it from your local Ford dealers. Ford list it as part number 1-830-769 but part numbers are continually being updated so that part number might well superceed onto a newer number.

RazMan, well done for taking the leap Thumbs Up Seems so much better than the jets when I had the DS for the day. If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

I know it’s not an LR part. That’s why I said ‘like’..

Maybe a daft question.....
I don’t think I have heated windscreen washer jets, I assume there would be wiring running along side the washer hose next to the RH bonnet hinge? Brgds

Scotland 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 GS Auto Santorini Black

Evening guys, bought two Ford 1 906 529 heated washer jets and fitted today, soldered the Lr electrical connectors onto new washers. All works well - except the spray goes up over the roof with only a little water hitting the windscreen, does anyone know if these can be adjusted? I tried poking around with a small pin but didn't force anything for fear of breaking them.
Any help would be appreciated,

Cheers.
