Anyone else have an issue with the washer angle? When I use them the wipers just smear the dirt around because there is not a great amount of water on the windscreen apart from In one place where there is loads

Yeah. They fire too low down the screen. Initially thought mine were partially blocked or faulty, but they seem poorly set up. Had forgotten about it until you brought it up.

Not sure what info you're after. They are a very different design and spray in a v shape onto your screen. I think they're set to aim to low on the screen but from where they are situated (hidden under the bonnet) there doesn't seem to be any adjustment.
