Well just done the air filter but lost a screw and dont have any spares, Wilkobob is sure to have 1.

Fuel filter, drained the containter and replaced, bit of arsing about so i think i will just not bother draining anymore hehehe.

Ive replaced the washer jets to the new Xsara Mist Jets, not actually that difficult to do which is surprising if you take it that its me. Little electrical screwdriver used to pop 'big' clip down while rotating down and pulling (quite steardy little things to be honest), then eleccy driver to go underneath the pipe to lever off the water tight head, does a tiny bit of damage to the end of the pipe, but very minimul and its fine. Stick the news on and apply a bit of force reversing procedure and sorted...however the passenger side tends to spray the roof where the drivers side seems pretty much bang on...any ideas??

Wd-40'd the joint between the 'car' hehehe and the sphere so lets hope it helps....OH and the pollen filter!

do mist jets adjust the same as normal ones,if so you just need a small safty pin place the pointed end into the center of the jet and rotate the ball in its socket till its aim is right,should not be any need to use the dreded WD40

I was referring WD-40 to the spheres, are you?

The mist jets have a vertical rectangle on them where the water comes out of...not sure what is inside the rectangle though

I tried to adjust the spay on mine,but buggerd it up.It came out like the old jet.Although a bit of poking around with the needle got it misting again.I just used a bit of super glue to hold them so they spray down a bit.When you`re driving along at speed,the wind force makes the spray hit the screen lower anyway.

I dont know where the 407 bit came from.I`ve always refered to them as 406 mist sprays.The Pug part number in link to the other topic is for mist jets from a 406,as fitted to my Xantia.
Weather or not the 407 jets are the same,i dont know.
