Any opinions on the above? I'm gearing up for the largeish trip to Belgium and 1x pathetic and 1x snapped front washer jets are on the list of things to fix before I go!

Oooo looking forward to hearing results!
I've possibly located another washer jet alternative.

Don't get your hopes too high. Let me guess, they are based somewhere in the Baltic states? Here's what is going to happen. They will happily take your money and after some time they are sorry but unfortunately the part seems to be out of stock. This is why you must use PayPal when dealing abroad, just enter a transaction dispute and your money will be refunded.jamescarruthers wrote:OMG found a supplier for Volvo original jets too!

Genuine washer jets arrived, see here:

I've also got the retrofit-to-the-arms set which I might put on my camper now. I'll report back as whether or not I think they're suitable for the 480 too
