Just ourchased a couple of new headlighe washer Jjets for my 2000 series 2
Disco, and was wondering how hard they are to install ( for the average
handy gut ) or is it a dealer job..?

One of the old ones has aleadry broken and the hose is no longer
connected...and i can't see where it is now lurking...muct be inside the
bumper or something...

Curious to know wether the bumper needs to come off etc...

cheers,
Brian C

I just replaced the passanger side jet on my D1 and it was really easy. I
spent more time getting the flathead screwdriver from the garage then I did
putting the jet in place. Just poke around and you'll find the hose and put
a new clamp on it if it needs one.

cool...did you replace the hose as well...as my new jets have a section (
approx 12" ) attached to them... ?

I though it would be easier to joing them at the jet rayher than that
further underneath...but the hose looks crimpped on and hard th remove...

I just reused the same hose that was connected to the old jet since I didn't
get a new piece of hose with the new jet. I just unscrewed the clamp,
pulled the hose out and it went into the new one pretty easy. I don't see
why you couldn't join the two hoses together though if it's going to be a
pain to remove the newer one.
