My washer jets have been removed from my bonnet and at the moment they are sitting in the scuttle which one aims over the windscreen and the over below. Can anyone suggest anything that can help, i have tried to move them but they keep going back to they originnally was.

Also does anyone have any information on how to paint my Scuttle? what paint to use? how to take it off etc etc?

Not sure about washer jets.
The scuttle is easy to remove, lift the bonnet and you will see a row of screws along the front holding it in place, simply undo these and lift it out.
Paint it with the same paint as the car body. You might want to rub it down first for a smooth finish and to remove the "orange peel" surface.
I did mine using Halfords brand plastic primer and lacquer. The paint I had mixed at a local paint factors because I couldn't find Arden blue in an aerosol. Heres mine...

Put your washer jets in the scuttle panel mate. Get jets off a car where they sit in the scuttle as standard so the angle is correct.

get a single wiper on you car mate and opt for one with the waser on the wiper blade then there is no need for jet as thy are attached to the wiper blade and clean the window miles better!!!
