   Hia,
   
   Just a simple one, the washer jets easy to remove and clean out? One of them's blocked and I have MOT booked for Tuesday so best to get them sorted. Don't want to pull them out to find I've broken a catch or something!

   Open the bonnet & push them up from the underside of the bonnet,or stick a pin down them to clear them out,the other way is to use an air line.

   if that don't shift the shit inside put them in a cup with boiling water and a tablet used for cleaning false teeth that how i did mine when they were blocked its amazing how much shit gets in them.

   Ive never had a problem with blocked jets except for them freezing up jus when you need them most!
   
   But Ive found that adjusting them with a pin can enlarge the jet and it just dribbles instead of squirting.
