Has anyone fitted these (especially to an S1, 2, 3) and are they any good?

This new washer jet system comes complete with a pair of new wash wiper blades which have a washer jet fixed to the side of the wiper blade to dispurse 3 jets of water directly onto your windscreen!

It is simple to change and will take no longer than 5 minutes!

Simply un-clip the old loop style washers and unplug the washer hose, then fit the new wash wiper blade and plug in the new washer hose

This looks like a variation on the system used on Griffs & Chims, where the fluid is pumped out of a loop fitted to the blade holder.

I replaced the original post-type washer jet on my S2 with a blade-mounted product (Leven?). The only problem is that the blade-mounted washers require more pressure than the original pump on the S can muster. You will probably also need to replace all the tubing that TVR fed into the bulkhead and behind the dash.

Yep it was advertised for Griffs & Chims but they said they could supply with the correct blade for my S2, thanks for your help

Fitted them to my Chimaera - very happy with the result as they fit the screen properly, especially on the passenger side. Blades are very good and clear the screen well.
Took about 10 minutes to remove the old "system" and fit the new one.

I fitted a pair on my Griff but was disappointed to find that one of the spray heads had snapped off after a couple of weeks. It's now held on with a tie wrap. They do work better than the standard ones though.
