Is that better or worse than a shit part from China?  :-\     ;D

Talking of which have you tried Temu?  :D
I can confirm that pattern JLR headlamp washers from China are even worse than the JLR ones, though at £12, about a tenth of the price....

They only have to actually work once a year.. So far the original ones have managed that with a bit of fettling. ;D

.. although I then need to remember to remove the relay so it doesn't syphon out the contents of the washer bottle overnight.

"My" MOT tester has yet to test the headlamp washers on my ML. It's not that easy anyway cos they don't wash every time the screen is washed

There's a button on the light switch on the S... Not seen the Tester use it though... He has enough trouble finding the on/off switch for the ESP.

I got an advisory for them leaking last year, so maybe I'll try my luck with them inop next year and see.
