[tillytheterrier]

hi could anyone please tell me how to replace headlamp washer and cover on 06 v8 vantage i guess the headlight has to come out but I'm not sure how to remove it, thanks in advance for your assistance.

which bit are you replacing? its a 5 min job if you have the complete cap with the waher bit, youll need to use some pliars to pull the jet out and keep it out and another person to unclip the old one (there is a little horse shoe clip holiding it on) then its just a case of clipping the new one on.

hi i have bought the complete washer jet and cap so it is already attached to the washer jet hope that makes sense thank you for your reply

Removing the headlight is not a difficult job but can be a bit time consuming. First, remove the front wheel followed by removing the black plastic wheel well cover. There are approximately 10 bolts holding the well cover in place. Once removed disconnect the wire connections and water squirter hose attached to the headlight unit. Lastly, remove the three bolts, two at the top and one at the bottom, which holds the unit. After a bit of maneuvering the unit drop down.

The best of luck

William, I forgot to add that after removing the wheel arch cover you will also need to pull down the air box to get to the headlight unit. It wasn't until I looked up the procedure in my manual that I realized my omission. Sorry about that. By the way the entire job shouldn't take more than an hour.

Hi,

do have a part number (maybe even Jaguar - I think this is a shared part) for the headlamp washer and cover?

Thanks
