Question

Had the Scoob in for service and was getting them to replace one of the headlamp washer nozzles that had disappeared months ago.
Anyways they phoned to confirm I wanted it fitted as the bumper needs to come off to do the job
I am seriously sceptical
Does anyone have experience of replacing these wee useless nozzles?

The nozzles are held in by a flat u shaped washer.

You *may* be able to get in to it from behind the foglamp (if you take it out), but the bumper takes only a few minutes to come off.

It may also be that the nozzle isn't faulty at all and it's just a hose which has come off.

As the man from the M25 says. It is a very easy job to do even if you don't know one end of a spanner from the other like me.
