The one which goes on the wiper blade - anyone know off-hand if it's still available?

I chucked mine and fitted a nozzle in the bonnet with a new hose from the pump.

I think there's also a spray manifold from a Peugeot (306) that fits, and provides a nice spread of water over the whole wiper area.

I'll look into that - thanks.
Might be in Maidstone area on tuesday - could possibly pick bits up early evening?

I cut my spray bar in half, and added the cut piece to the far end of the wiper blade frame, with a short section of the flexy tubing to jump the moveable joint.

Works better,as it now sprays the whole length of the wiper blade.

I still have the usual problem of the holes getting blocked from time to time though.

That's a good idea...
