carboy0 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 How difficult would it be to retro fit headlamp washers to my 92 Disco, I have seen one with them in a local scrapyard? I assume they come on with the windscreen washer? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stageonesimmo Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 They do, but only once every 3 goes of the screen washers - it's controlled by the 'multi-function-unit' It would be easy enough to wire them in to a seperate switch though so they were independant as I doubt you've got the wiring/connectors present already as its too early a truck. I had them fitted to my '96 XS. I say had as I've took them off - not much cop at actually cleaning the lights especially during winter where the heat of the lense dries the salty crud as soon as it hits and nothing short of a scourer is shifting it - if anything, on the m/way the washers made things worse! Then the jets break off at the drop of a hat. The anti-syphon valves stop working and the contents of the washer bottle ends up on the drive/car-park in about 5 minutes. Then there's the fact that during my old weekend commute from Oxford to Glasgow (370ish Miles), I would have to fill the washer brim full before leaving and would need to fill it again before I reached the M74 - the lamp washers use that much water! I've not missed them in the 2 years they've been off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris i am sure i read somewhere in the manual that you need the headlights on - mine have never worked and i have lived with it. good job not part of MOT.

disco_al Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 they only work with the headlamps on dipped, and they do guzzle water at a serious rate - tbh i don't think they are that good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste clark Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 all my discos have had them and they all end up getting removed because when you use them they just flood the road infront of you a bit like a road sweeper!! waste of time completely!!
