Nice one

A lot of members also do this upgrade using Ford Focus heated units which have a top spray and are a direct fit.

One of the best upgrades for very little money

Interesting mod. I didn't realise the V8 had heated nozzles. Going to have to check mine now. I've never noticed a problem with the wash wipe. What is the improvement, just a better spread? Went to your blog. A good collection of useful posts for me. Many thanks

I think the Focus one have a double spray, but I think you also have to change the pipework as it is a different diameter between the Ford and MG ones.

Be interested to see the difference in the spray patterns between them, whether the Ford one is better despite needing more mods to fit.

Tempted to try on mine, perhaps get a set of MGR heated ones to play about with first to cobble together connecters etc.
