I have replaced the black wiper tube that dispenses water onto the windscreen.
I’ve used black plastic air tube with a 2.5mm inside diameter, and 'drilled' holes into one side of the tube, but results are poor / inadequate volume of water.
I have played around with the size of the holes, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Any thoughts / similar experiences?
Cheers. BB

Get the |Leven wiper blades, comes with decent spray nozzles. Solves the cr*ppy washer problem and the wipers clear the screen properly.
About £30 IIRC

I have the Leven wipers on my Chim and they are much better at getting the washer fluid onto the screen than the original wipers.

Unfortunately the arms and blades as a set cost about £60 Not cheap but worth it IMHO

Leven told me that their arms are the same as the standard ones, so unless your arms are in poor condition you don't need to replace them to fit their wiper/wash kit

They possibly are the same arms. I will see if I still have the old ones and compare them.
My old ones were showing their age and the black paint coating was going grey so a new set looks better.
