Tried adjusting the angle of one of the jets only for the needle I was using to snap off and block the jet.
I can see that they're removed from the bonnet fairly easily, but any ideas as to whether they can be 'unblocked' or failing that where to get a replacement (other than BMW)? Had a look on ebay but no luck so far.....

Thanks

Bad luck: maybe try a magnet, see if it'll shift the remains?

I needed a new rear screen washer jet for my E36 touring, not the type of part you find easily in scrapyards as only about 5% of E36's were tourings. Ordered a new one from BMW at the obscene cost of £1.88 and took 48 hours for them to order in it from Germany.

Try your local dealer, you may be surprised.
