Updating windscreen washer jets (D2)
The long discussion about upgrading D3 jets to either triple of fan variants made me think about the limitations of the D2 windscreen washer jets.
Has anyone ever tried to upgrade/improve them? Years ago I upgraded my old (long gone) Ford Focus with fan jets which were much better, and thinking about them today I realised the originals were very similar in design to the D2 ones. A quick rummage later and I found the originals I had replaced (why do I still have them?  ) and headed off to the garage to look at my spare scuttle cover.The Ford jets click straight in to the rectangular mounting holes on the D2 scuttle panel.  They are a bit narrower but the fit is good and the direction/angle looks plausible when I check against my car.  Need to look at the wiring for the heated jets but that's going to be easy to transplant if the connectors are different.  Off now to search online for Fan jets for Ford Focus MkIII (or is it MkII?).
