The spray bar isn't very long, so may not need cut at all.

I could measure it and double check, if you know what size wiper blades are on the landy.

Good on you guys!

I've been running the new relay and a citroen wash bar for over a year now, and they're both fantastic!!!

A word of warning MacK, the clear tubing from b&Q or halfrauds isn't UV resistant at all. - it'll be fine for a bit, but sunlight will make it crack as it looses its flexibility. - with the Citroen wash bar I only have a 6" run of this tubing, so i covered it in Heat-shrink.

Good on you all for going the DIY route!

the other mod which really is a MUST for S1s and early S2s is changing the mirror for a daewoo one, though. - I put a bit in the selock wiki about this as well..

Just changed the relay on mine - what a difference - and all for £1.18 :D

I've also got a new peugeot spraybar if anyone wants it? Cost me £7 - yours for a pint!

It doesn't work with this type of wiper blade --

Had a 2hr gap between aircraft yesterday, so went to the scrappy and picked up a relay. Getting the old one out was a bugger, but the new one works a treat. Well worth it :thumbsup
