Default Windscreen Washer Jets.

I have 'faffed about' for several months poking pins and needles into the jet orifices trying to clear poorly working screen washing. This morning I dismantled them from the bonnet and dunked them in Lidl W5 anti-calc cleaner. My goodness, works like new now!!

I actually bought a pair of those and the water didn't reach the window lol. I had to revert to the old ones.

I actually had a look at the posts on here about the Focus jets but wasn't totally convinced. However as the Ford Dealer is in Lisbon, it was either a trip to Amazon or to Lisbon and also I was well into the job I reckoned that I would see if the cleaning route would suffice, which it did... thanks for the heads-up though...
