Ebay spot

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

Agreed. having two jets either side is quite a nice upgrade as well.

Semi related, I was driving behind a classic range rover the other day and thought the rear washer jet looked familiar:

Clearance over the wipers might be an issue but worth looking into if looking original is important.

I covered this on my thread a while back.

The landrover items look good but need modified due to the length of the threaded part.

Review of the short landrover screen washer jet. They seemed ok but are too low, when I tried to adjust the jets it either went over the roof or bottom of the screen, conclusion was that I needed a taller jet like the originals. I picked up a pair of the brass jets which are almost exactly the same size.

They were £5.99 the pair. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PAIR-UNIVERSA ... 2749.l2649

The bottom clears the wipers although I had to removed the wiper linkage to get the drivers side fitted, which of course meant a sheared bolt. I managed to drill and thread it though.

They brass jets hit the middle of the screen without needing adjusted. I am glad I ordered them as the drivers side was on its last legs.
