Haven't used my washers for ages we haven't had any rain here for weeks. But when I used them last night they seem to be jetting very low down on the screen which means it is difficult to clean the upper part of the wipe. Had a quick look, the jet clips on to the bonnet is there any way of adjusting them to spray higher?

Eye30 had this same issue; I believe he's had his either replaced or realigned. I don't believe they are adjustable.
If I can locate the thread I'll update this post.

I wonder i eye30 got his nozzles replaced, and if they were any different.
I've just got used to them working best ay 70mph.

Didn't I update?
Sorry for the lapse.
Well here is an update.
Had them both replaced as Shambles says above, under warranty, as you can't adjust them.
Fixed in place an no little jet nozzle to swivel.
They still only hit the bottom but I've noticed they now give a wider spray so as the wipper blade goes up the screen more water is brought up and gives a good clean.
Just a word about car forward speed.
The faster you are travelling the higher up the screen the water hits.
Odd or what.

Yeah, at 160kph they work brilliantly .. just don't hit anything for that couple of seconds until the foam clears... :lol:
