Malawi 110 replacing the screen wash jet, and wiper woes!

[@lenhornsey2175]

Wow .....what a difference in the sweep! I'll be checking the wear on mine later on this morning. Thanks for the tip.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

A pretty cheap fix and easy to do!

I replaced my grub screws with hex head bolts (because you told us to in an early video). Grub screws are a pain in the...

Yeap! Too small to get out once rusty!

[@Rob-cz7lg]

I used the same washer jet, but installed a pair of them in the LHD windscreen wiper holes. Instantly double the water jets.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

For us in snowy climates the washer jet is a pain - they get damaged when clearing off snow = which is why I fitted jets to the arms - much better when driving as the water does not get sprayed over the roof!

[@1977Timp]

I did changed mine after watching your last video.. I didn't single handed because luckily I got the spare wheel on the bonnet.. so a piece of wood between the jet and the tire.. job done!! Thanks to you.. I was already planning on an extension.. but thanks to you was not needed

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Nice work!

Defender wipers... aaargh. And as you say a tube up the arm for the washer is the way ahead. Made my first one from plant irrigation parts, but you can now buy the kits, although having tried a couple of different ones I think my original system was best.

[@seekerbeta]

i used a little but of JB Weld expoxy on mine, havnt fallen off since.

[@GregPalmer2]

Gday young felah,l got the early 2 post washers and l have changed the arms for the Britparts Chinese version, Australia don't have much snow and wipers hold up well compared to where you are. Burnt out my led blinker relay out again because of 5 mixture of led and normal globes on each circuit. End up putting normal flasher relay,just have to up the wattage with a high watt globe on the circuit to slow it down.

[@googlegok9637]

Thank you, just the Cowboy trick I needed to fix my same problem , though I think a midwife will be better at handling this kind of operation.. BTW coolant also prevent overheating.

[@SSSwilliams]

Thought this might make u laugh Mike, my uncle brought a brand new defender. It has lane control, however it veers into the middle of the white line instead of being between the white lines. He's turned it off but still happening. It is now been dumped back at the dealership. It's funny as it is incredibly dangerous. Time for tea.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Oh dear! Who is going to fix that in 7 years time once the dealers do not want to know...?

[@SSSwilliams]

@@BritannicaRestorations no one. Hahaha.

[@coyote5735]

There has been a hell of a lot of electrical gremlins in the new Defender its got 80 odd computers, what could go wrong?

[@coyote5735]

13 Deg C here in the Midllands, nearly put the heating on last Sunday.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

bitch of a day today with the humidity = felt like 45c! Could not wait for that sherry!

[@coyote5735]

@@BritannicaRestorations I'm putting on the second woolly jumper of the season, I guess if someone is getting the heat we must get the cold. We had three sunny days over a week ago, that's our summer for this year. But you can keep that heat Mike anything over 30 Deg C with high humidity is murder to work in.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Yesterday I dragged the RR in - boy was it hot and sticky! -I looked like I just got out of the shower Heat I do not mind, like in Australia when I was there, but the humidity is a bugger

[@davidbland8525]

Lol I've only just got round to fixing mine after one wiper ejected itself across the bonnet.... (eject, eject, eject!! 🤣)

[@nicolasdifiore4537]

Hi Mike great video as always!, at 6:39 below the windshield there is a blue thing all along the frame, I was wondering... What is that? Thank you for all your tips, greetings from Patagonia!

[@BritannicaRestorations]

-40c screen wash!

[@nicolasdifiore4537]

Ohh it's the screen wash fluid haha

[@gshort4707]

The washer on my Lightweight takes a few seconds before it squirts as there is no non-return valve. Then I realised, because the liquid drains out of the jet it never freezes so I've not bothered with a valve. Whether LR designed it that way deliberately, or they were just being tightwads I don't suppose we will ever know.

[@weaton25]

You aint ment to put just water in the washers the proper stuff do not freeze so they say.

[@gshort4707]

@@weaton25 Lol. That's not my experience - you can't believe the marketing hype. I've complained to the dealers who tell me they use -10C solution. It doesn't freeze in the bottle, just the jets. That is my experience when I've done myself as well. I've got some -15C to try this year. Like I say, I don't have that issue in the Lightweight which I service myself.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

We have -40c screen wash here - never a problem!

[@vincentpoole7588]

Mike. 'Muriel from Malawi' strike Ten ! This bloody Defender has got so many uncommon LR problems wrong with it, does this truck need a looking over ? V.

[@SalomaoFresco]

Nicely done. I wonder what type of jets have you installed on your 110 wiper arms. I might be tempted to do the same on my disco1.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

They were fitted to some GM truck over here - not sure which one

[@madenciufuk]

My washer jet washes the wiper blades first. Is it normal?

[@WhosAGoodDogue]

The ''technical'' reason you struggled to get it in the hole at 3:15 ? There was no hair around it....

[@andicog]

I removed the centre washer jet and fitted a pair in the LHD wiper holes, it's a bit better, owned mine for 4 years and the drivers wiper still drops onto the bonnet on the odd occasion. 🙄

[@BritannicaRestorations]

lol! Bonnet wipes!

The brake fluid, engine/gear oil are the only fluids that correspond with Africa.

Eh? Hang about... Got to the end of the video and you finish with saying: A refreshing glass of.... _sherry_ ?? What the hell? I just can't imagine you sat on yer office chair in front of the computer, black as the ace of spades, and hanging onto a ''grannie style'' sherry glass with yer pinkie finger stuck out at 90 degrees.
