Hi Guys, really daft question here, I have literally just started to swap the tubing, the T piece (one way valve) and also the water jets themselves. I have already been and bought the pieces only to find (upon opening the damn bonnet and REALLY checking) that the jets I have are the heated variety, so no doubt the cheap as chips ones I've just bought will not do and replacements will be Ԛ£Ã”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£. Anyway, here's the daft question,:

HOW THE HELL DO I GET THE OLD JETS OUT???

On the non heated ones I've just bought (and will be taking back) there appears to be a spring clip either side which is pressed in and then the unit pulls out, on my heated ones I cannot see any such spring clips?.

HELP.

Ps, I've searched and no posts actually mention this and they all relate to non heated jets, so either I'm a total donut, or I am unique.....lol

The heated ones come out the same way as the non.

Right Guys, sorted it, the non heated ones the clips are on the sides, the heated ones the clip is on the bottom, it then levers out.

Thanks for the tips, best get on so I can see out the damn screen again....lol
