Title: Headlamp washers wanted.
Post by Pete_M on Feb 13^th, 2008, 12:20am

I know it's a long shot, but I've spent the day upto my knees in mud in a scrapyard and I can't be bothered doing that again.

Hey ho....

did you mean that they're NON-facelift ones? Because that's what I've just read in the ad.

b****r.

Mine's April '98.

Arrgh.

Come someone, outbid me.

I didn't see that when I looked at the ad initially. These bloody headlamp washers are winding me up to the point where I'm just going to sell the whole car. I can't stand it when parts are a nightmare to get.

I've got a one off, turbocharged Range Rover that is easier to get bits for than this Scorpio, but I wouldn't want a non-facelift one so I'm beginning to think the best thing to do is walk away from the best part of 20 years driving Granadas (and the Scorp).

Hmmmm..

Ebay rogue indeed!!

I did say they didn't fit a facelift car... I'm not selling the set that do in case mine break!! ;D

Pete,

If you want me to cancel your bid for you so it doesn't show on your record, let me know

If you could, that'd be wonderful.

I've advertised the car on 'ere now. I'm fed up with looking for the washers, easier to just sell the whole car.

Sorry for inconvenience.

Is it the whole washer assemblies you need or just the covers? A few people have successfully fabricated them from plastic in the past and they look pretty good. A cost of paint and you'd never know.

as far as I can tell, it needs pretty much all of them. It's not had them since I bought it, there are a few random bits and bobs of pipework behind the bumper but no washers from what I can see.

They're the one thing that has annoyed me about the car since I bought it. I'm finally going to get the Range Rover fixed in the next couple of weeks, so the Scorpio will have less work to do then. It's been pretty reliable in the few months I've used it, and I was going to use it for a run to the Czech Republic in April if the Rangie wasn't working, but these things are irritating me now!!

I spent most of yesterday traipsing around scrapyards looking for Scorpios, found plenty of them, but not one facelift. Nearest I got was a bloke on Brasenose Road in Bootle who said "Don't get many of those in, if they're 24v I rip the engine out and weigh the rest in.."

Shame really as I quite like it. I'm just a fussy b'tard.

I was walking round the Johnsons factory on Mildmay Road yesterday.... you might have seen me!!

As for a Range Rover V8.... blimey, I hope you have bottomless pockets.. everyone I know who has one of those is either a company director or a lottery winner!!! ;D

heh, try a turbocharged Range Rover V8. Double figure mpg is just a dream half the time!!

That's a b****r - I really need the caps for a facelift model for the washer jets. Mine got ripped off when a tyre came away from a lorry which I had no choice but to run over. Pushed the bumper back and the clips unclipped :(

Or another good tactic is to pinch them at a Scorpio meet ;D

Unfortunately, Baz has bought my Scorpio, so they're not much use to me...

... Oh b****r, just remembered...

If anyone needs some, get in touch with TRACEYS_LIMO.

I agreed to buy some from him and have sold the car before getting round to buying them. I'm sure he'll do you a marvellous deal, as he did me.
