Just discovered another victim of my 'Bambi' incident - the nearside headlight washer nozzle has broken at the back - the plastic has fractured. Does anyone know if this nozzle is available on its own or should I try and cobble up a repair with glue/resin.........?

Thanks.

I'm sure Gav will come along with the part number. The jet nozzles are mounted from the rear and can be replaced.

Does the headlight washer system have its own water supply? Or does it share with the windscreen wash? My one seems to have stopped working!!

On the 463, the reservoir is in the right, front, wing. It supplies all the washers, but there are two pumps:

pump-1: windscreen and front lights, when light switch is on.

pump-2: rear door
