Windscreen washers

Anyone had a problem before with front and rear wash jets not working? Headlight jets work but front and rear screen jets dead.

well - thought that but temp has been up to 5 deg and still inop - would the headlamp jets not also be frozen if that the case ?

Also are these jets supposed to be heated - my BM had heated jets as i recall - windscreen heater on heated jets on ...

Stay in the warm MAW, yes pull the right hand column stalk towards you all the way and the rear washer will operate and give 3 wipes................................ you will then spend the next 10 minutes clearing the excess water off the rear screen too! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Forgot to report back, mine were working with -6°C outside, so they are heated but you do need to wait 1min before they will work. 08.5 RRS TDV6 HSE Java Black/Alpaga - Cold Climate Pack - Privacy Glass - Bluetooth - Sunroof - 20" wheels - Rubber Floor mats.
