Thread: How do you replace windscreen washer nozzle?

Yes there is, I did it on my 90 not long ago. The tube (plastic) behind the nozzle is fairly sturdy. What you do is prise the nozzle off using a pair of small screwdrivers. This leaves the black plastic tube behind. All you do then is the same to the new nozzle and simply fit it over the plastic tube. Give the new nozzle a tap and it sits onto the plastic tube.
This tip was given to me by an independent LR repairer and it works really easily.

This will work well provided the base plastic tube is undamaged. It is more than likely that removal of the windscreen would have just have pushed the nozzle off, as they are not usually that tight to remove with screwdrivers.

The nozzle assembly is quite cheap. (Britpart AMR3025), and includes the base tube. Just detach the nozzle part. If you have to replace the base tube it is a major undertaking. Even removing the top part of the dash does not give good access, as there is a metal bracket in the way.

It is a particularly stupid bit of (characteristically British) design.

I thought I might finish this thread off with how I went with replacing the windscreen washer nozzle.

Both Ivan and Lionel were spot on but I did run across one wrinkle. That is, that the replacement nozzle needs to be the genuine Land Rover part.

I rarley use aftermarket parts but I (incorrectly) thought that on this occasion "it's only a simple bit of plastic" and "it's not a critical part"; so I initially bought the much cheaper aftermarket alternative from Rimmer Bros in the UK.

It turned out that this cheaper nozzle had been made in two parts (like the genuine Land Rover part) but then glued together rather than pressed together. Bummer!

So after getting the genuine Land Rover part, the whole thing went according to Ivan and Lionel's script.

Well done guys and thank you.

Interesting information - thanks for passing it on. Was the cheaper part from Rimmers the Britpart AMR3025, or something else?

Also, what was the genuine LR part number?

Cheers,
