Yeah, but I didn't want to wait weeks without a windscreen washer...

PS Still like to know how it broke... Under the bonnet....

The driver's side washer broke on our 2011 after about 3 years. The entire inlet somehow sheared off at the base... From memory it happened when it was in use, i.e. it was spraying and then suddenly there was no spray. Brittle plastic maybe? Still beggars belief though

Yes, mine was the same.

It must be one impressive pump...

Just be thankful you didn't have to replace the washer bottle, a mate got the price from dealer....$650 ish. A milk bottle will do.

The washer nozzle would cost cents to make - probably in China - and the washer bottle would cost a few dollars to make.

PS Someone worked out the price of making an EH Holden from spare parts. It was MANY times the cost of an assembled car. Things have not changed, I see...

I reinstalled my Kings 9" LED lights.

They were here:



Now they are here:



Getting the brackets underneath the lights off the bull bar was a pain, but I got there... The new placement is much more secure and rigid.
