So what have you done to your car today?

[feeutfo]

Ive replaced my wiper motor, and fitted insignia washer jets while the scuttle was off, just got to adjust them now, bit low.

Think thats the nature of them, not adjustable?

Tricky to adjust without damaging the jet outlet IME. Needs to be up as far as possible without the water jet catching to top of the jet body moulding.

there are tools to adjust them, they do move apparently.

I chewed up my drivers side Insignia jet trying to adjust it  I have bought a replacement but it would be nice to have the right tool to hand before I fit it.
Do you have a link to an example?

Thanks Jimbob. I will try that first it looks more convincing than the 'Laser 4824'

Big day at last .....
Fitted my MV6 front bumper after a week of painting , lacquering and polishing. Removed rear bumper and fitted bespoke tapered washers onto Park Pilot sensors to raise the angle and stop them picking up the road . Replaced passengers side side body mouldings that had been scratched with newly painted perfect replacements .
The old girl's looking quite splendid if I say so myself.......

You didn't go ditchfinder with yours then

I failed miserably with the homemade biro adjuster....but my smallest (1.5mm) precision screwdriver was a perfect fit and I now have an excellent spray pattern 3/4 of the way up the screen when stationary.

Replaced the air con compressor (the original 11 year old unit was leaking around the seal on the main body of the unit). Not much room down there for wrestling in and out, plenty of bruises and muscle aches to remind me of the task! All is fine now though...fingers crossed.

You might wish to drop them back down to a third of the way up the screen when stationary, as when moving the airflow will push it further up the screen, potentially leaving it dry

I'd say other way, as the airflow seems to lower the spray (on my bog std Omega ones)

Did it need activating, out of interest?
