I orderd a few bits to convert the windscreen washers on to the wiper arms, then realised I don't have just have a single nozzle but two separate ones on each side of the screen and they work fine.

Is it standard to have 2 seperate ones on the earlier 110s?

Yes, standard on early OneTens. For a bit more water output you can put twin-jets where the single ones are, but if the current setup works fine than I’d be tempted to keep things original - depending on how original the rest of the Landy is being kept!
P.s you’ll know if they’re standard as you won’t have the centre hole stamped in the bulkhead where a twin-jet would go.
 
Yes it's a Good conversion is to replace singles with twin jets.

Only problem with jets on wipers they can suffer from cold to the exposed pipes.
 
I have my jets on the wiper arms. I have had them on there for around 2 years, actual use and not including this year while it’s been off the road.

I never had any problems with the cold, and freezing the washer fluid, but I normally run Halfords -20 or -30 fluid, neat, so don’t expect it to freeze up. I couldn’t get the -30 to freeze in the freezer, I set it to -28 I think. It’s good stuff.
 
The ones on my other car are on the wiper arm, and they're really good, that's why I thought I would do it but there's really no need, I'll leave it standard.

If any wants the clip on wiper blade nozzles when they arrive, let me know and I'll pop them in the post.

Which type of clip on nozzle are they?
 
I too have nozzles on the wipers, I find they work much better than the originals. I replaced the plastic tubing supplied with silicon tubes. Never had a problem with freezing. But as above use a high percentage of anti freeze and the new piping takes a few turns round heater pipes.

I was going to ask if I could give them a try instead of the ones I have fitted, but I’m not sure them ones would be any better. I’m not trying to slag them off, it’s just mine have 3 nozzles on them, all in the same direction. I keep looking for ones with only 2 towards the wiper blade.

The pump doesn’t appear to generate a lot of pressure with mine, as it’s effectively 6 nozzles instead of the standard 2.
 
That's all I done. Mine looks rough but works.(take photo in the morning)
This kit you have to cut a pipe & replace it.

I'm trying to find a screeen wash bottle that has a coiled pipe which is heated by the water. Think it's merc or iveco

The cutting of the pipes is what put me off that kit. It’s an extra place for leaks to occur, so if doing what you have done is working, then I may try that when I get started.

The merc link uses the rad water to heart it. Still looking for an electric version.
Electric would be better as quicker than letting a landy warm up.

I did think about using water, but like you say it will take its time to warm up, and I wonder how the sealing of it all will work.
