I fitted them to the TF a while ago and I was so chuffed with them that it was one of the first mods I did on the Freelander.

 

They are a must have mod IMO

 

They do make a good diffrence. Shame they're so big - thought for a minute you'd found a smaller casing from this pic;

They seem to thaw quicker than the oem ones too I've noticed.

 

But you've only half-finished the job! Next stop: a pair of aero wiper blades. £4 from your nearest eBay vendor.

 

Did anyone else find fiting the new nozzles to the connector quite difficult? Ours were an extremely tight, thought I was going to snap them.

 

Are they pliable? If so, then dip them in hot water. Should connect more easily.

 

I bought some Ripspeed ones form the orange shop on the high street. Made from chrome steel they are about the same size as the Citroen ones. Trouble is I have yet to get them to do more than pee water into the front scuttle. Its as though the pump doens't have enough power to make them spray. Going to remove the one way valve this weekend and see if it removes the restriction.

 

I have the same ones in silver finish, work fine on my LE500 but at speed they tend to hit the lower part of the screen although it is still adequate for washing when needed, but work best when stationary across the whole screen.

I had no problems with fitting them but the car is newish so this may be your problem as posted by a Scottish member on the MGOC forum recently:

Well I tried a new pump and no difference. I then removed all of the pipes from the car and soaked them in detergent & very hot water for 10 minutes and flushed them through with a syringe, a load of black gunk came out of the long pipe from the pump to non return valve, so I then pushed a slim metal rod through each length of hose and flushed the T piece & non return valve with hot water & detergent, all re-assembled and now working brilliantly.

 

I've got these and they are miles better, well worth doing :broon:

 

I have those and also replaced pipes and non-return valve, works much better, mine hit the top of the screen now.

 

My next mod :broon:

 

I might remove the NRV on mine having read this thread. I've got the Chavspeed ones from Halfords as it was all they had in stock at the time, and they only do the lower portion of the screen when the car's moving at 30mph+.

Still better than what was on there before though.

 

Yes my right angle fitting was very tight but still done in five mins.

Used them in anger and still very happy

Ta-tar for now

 

Cut my finger getting the old ones off, that was my only problem.
