headlight washer jets
« on: 30 March 2013, 10:39:50 »
I have lost my drivers side headlight washer nozzle again. :'(

I have a passenger side one  :-\

Anyone got one or swap my passenger side for a drivers side?

It's for a 1998 Mfl

Did not think they were handed mate....at least on my elites all you do is twist the pipe round to point the other way. May be different sort on yours, as its 3 years older than mine, mate :y

Probably won't help you but who knows ;)

Yes, 'fraid so  :'(
Facelifts don't seem to be, but up to MY 1999 they are marked LH & RH (As they are mounted on the headlight trim , not the bumper)

Thanks Jim, as this is the second time it's happened, I'd be very happy to have your one too! If you don't mind checking, I'll take it if you've got one Jim!

Omegagod, I'll take yours too if that ok?

Matt, may be worth replacing the pop-out pipe section if the jet keeps coming off.  Or at least check that the end isn't damaged and preventing the latch on the jet from engaging properly.

If you Elite an MV6, does that make it an MVee-leet?

I used to use a small self tapping screw to hold mine in position, and to stop people from pulling them off!!
