Weak jets - windscreen wash

Is it just ours or is the pressure quite low and weak when using the windscreen wash, particularly at motorway speed?

Thanks bear, they do work but the spray seems to hit just underneath the wipers and seems more like a mist as opposed to a strong jet. Maybe they need to be adjusted Thumbs Up

Assuming your screen wash is concentrated enough not to be freezing, and the nozzle heating is not defective, the problem might be nozzles clogged with polish or other dirt. They can be cleaned out (and redirected) with something like a darning needle. Only Range Rovers since 1988

Thanks CS, the reservoirs are always full of concentrated screen wash so definitely not frozen.

Will try the tips.

If you have a compressor, disconnect the rubber pipework under the bonnet and give them a good blast through Thumbs Up

Interestingly I just had washer jets replaced under warranty as they were hitting the trailing edge of the bonnet. It was an improvement but not perfect. Only noticed while I was replacing wiper blades with Piaa Aero Vogue which incidentally are brilliant.
