Did you fix this, mine have not been an issue with the direction.

Hi CJOver,

Have just put up with it so far, went into a Dealership I was passing the other day and asked to look at Evoque and Disco Sport jets. Disco completely different and no Evoque jets in stock.

Approx. 50% of the spray goes over the roof, quite annoying as no-one else on Forum seems to have the same issue,

Paul.

Any update on this one?

I had forgotten about this upgrade - I changed my FL shortly after my last posting - I have ordered a couple of replacements on eBay for my current FL as they worked really well previously.

I will post something when I get them.

I have received the Ford washer jets, part no. 1 906 526, from memory the LR ones pull out from the bonnet side and the new ones just pop straight in.

The only complication, that I remember, is that the electrical fitting/plugs for the heated water are not the same.

So it will be a case of cutting the ones off the LR jets and replacing them on the Ford jets, I will solder the wires and use a heat shrink to ensure that they are fully waterproof. I also think that I lengthened the tails as the Ford ones where a bit too short for my liking.

I will put some photos up when I get this done but this is a ways down on my to-do list at present.

I tried fitting but like PMG the spray patten was not good, hitting the top 1/3 of the windscreen and the roof, and I can not see how they can be adjusted down so I revert back to the LR ones, a shame because a fan patten would be much more effective.

Hey all,

Any update on this as I am looking for the same myself a fan spray pattern.

Thanks
Ian.

I could not get the spray patten to give proper coverage - it was too high on the screen even when driving.

If you can find a way of adjusting the angle it should work but looking at the jet they do not appear to be adjustable.

Hey Chris,

Would they work better if you were doing motorway trips and at those speeds it would be more like the middle of the screen?
What were the part numbers you used again?

Thanks
Ian.

I will predicate my post with this caveat, I have not had to adjust my washer jets for well over 30+ years so I maybe seriously out of touch. Heck, first vehicle I've even owned with "heated" jets is the LR2

Can they not be carefully adjusted for height with a sewing needle or a pin?

I don’t know about the Ford washer jets but the mist/fan jets on my old works Peugeot van we’re just a slot and not adjustable at all.

I have these mist sprays on my Discovery Sport and I’d have to say I find them a bit disconcerting as once they start spraying you can’t see where you’re going as the spray covers the entire field of view of the windscreen. I much prefer the simple jets of water on my FL2.
