    I looked for nine months to find one. I think the Australian sun makes them brittle and prone to cracking. I got lucky and found a member who was upgrading to a steel bar. LR sell them for $500.

    Read the manual, there are a few secret things that you should know about. Headlamp washers, intermittent delay for the rear wiper.....

    on mine the headlight washers work with the windscreen washers, but im not sure it happens everytime might be every 3rd or so

    maybe take out the fog lights, pull out the globes, leave them out for a few days to dry out, and see how they go, might have done a creek crossing and filled them up, might just have a leak

    My indicator lens kept filling with water after taking it out and draining it a few times. It was the foam/rubber gasket which was old and cracked so I just replaced it with a new unit the keep the water away from the electrics.

    Headlamp washers only spray on my car when the lights are on buy pulling back and the windscreen wiper washer stalk.

    Best option - replace your foglights with some sealed LED lights. Waterproof AND better !
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    Hi buzzme74,

    Interestingly when I bought mine recently the front fogs were full of water too. My theory is that PO had a bull bar on it and this front bumper had been sitting out the back of someone's shed who wanted a nice bar on their d2. Mine didn't have switch for the front fogs so they shouldn't have been original. I am getting a switch and relay and I'll see if they work.

    VladTepes do you know of a source for LED lights which fit neatly in the rectangular spot?

    Drill a small hole in the bottom of each of the light housings so that they can drain out the water. I have done that for my lights in the past and they're still going.
