Morning
Just a little advice for anyone ordering a new Britpart rear wiper arm for your D2
I finally got round to ordering a new rear wiper arm for the Disco as the old one head sheered off (I think someone had helped it ) and stuck back together with silicone and duct tape.
Fitting the arm was self explanatory and was easily fitted but issues arose with the plumbing for the washer jet
Turns out the rubber pipe is a different diameter to the original OEM so leaks at the join with the valve inside the rear door
But by stripping out the original pipework from the broken arm including the washer jet itself ( as Britpart one gives a poor spray pattern) you can carefully re thread it through the arm and return of the new one allowing the correct size pipe to be used stopping any potential leaks in your door
So a little patience and reusing some of the parts saved me having to re order and looks just as good as standard
Bodge complete
