Easy. Just lever / pop the 8 or whatever big round push fit / christmas tree connectors that are holding it in place. The washers and wiring (if fitted) are then exposed.

Really easy, just lever the plastic plugs out and the soundproofing will be off.
Easiest way to the wires between the wing and the inner wing is from behind the front wheel with the arch liner pulled out.

Oooo, now that sounds promising, are they the 'fan type' ? do the electrical connections just plug straight into the 75's wiring? and lastly ... do they fit into the bonnet with zero mods?
Thanks.

Yes. Yes. Yes. All you need to do is swivel the washer pipe inlet (massive mod, not ) as it is oriented 180 degrees differently on BMW's.

Thought I'd give this a go. Can anyone tell me what size reducer I need to get the existing pipework to fit the Focus 3 jet?

One of my nearside jets is blocked absolutely solid so after coming across this thread I've ordered a couple of these BMW heated jet units. It was rather annoying having to carry a squirty water bottle in the car during the cold snaps.

Just got round to fitting mine, Andy. No sign of the wiring for the washers, is it always on the drivers side?
I would have thought it would be present being a Connoisseur in case it had been ordered in SE spec'.
