Have you tried the likes of www.247spares.co.uk ? There are a number of similar sites that have links to breakers.

Crooser, hi. I am near Cambridge and its the Estate. However have traced one from a spares company near Bristol who have posted one out today first class. 6 months warranty, £40 all in. Did it through an on line parts locator similar to the one beezer is suggesting. Took just 10 minutes from placing the enquiry to getting a phone call!
Citroen wanted £150.47 and the Bosch dealers here would not talk to me unless I had the actual motor and Bosch number!
Will wait & see what the replacement is like.
Best wishes both and thank you. All the best for 2005. Robin

Bosch use a 10 digit ID number for EVERYTHING, Spares, Machines, Drawings, ABS units, ECUs, Everything! The whole Bosch world revolves around these 10 digit numbers.
Have a look on something Bosch made, Look for a 10 digit number on the ID plate or casing.
EG: X XXX XXX XXX
Without this number they wont help you!
With this number they will bend over backwards to help you!

Crooser, would you be prepared to sell the full heated screenwasher assembly?
Assume from your comment that the front bumper is in use elswhere!

robin,as far as i know it is only the nozzles themselves that are heated by means of a coil of wire around the nozzle itself,do you know different or mean something else?yes i had to use the complete bumper and lights to repair mine.

Crooser, Happy New Year!
It is just the nozzle assemblies and the cable loom back to a plug in the engine bay or below the screen I think. I rather assume they must operate via a temperature sensor/switch of some sort unless you have a switch or something on the dashboard. I am hoping that the car is pre wired in the usual manner.
But yes that's what I am seeking. Cheers, Robin

robin, i won't have time until saturday and then i will see as far as i can what it entails regards wiring.i have no switch for my 2.5 so i presume they are on all the time or when the hrw is operated.

robin,i've just looked at the wiring diagram[i'm no electrician]and it looks as though the heated nozzles bridge the wiper motor wiring so they are either on all the time or when the washers are activated.does anyone out there know any different?
