Heated washer nozzles?
Does the Discovery 5 have heated washer jets?
We're in a bit of a cold snap and I could not get any fluid to spray yesterday...front window, back window, headlights or rear camera.
This left me perplexed, as I thought the jets would be heated?
We're going to negative double digits later in the week, so it's only going to get worse.
Is there a trick that I'm not aware of?

You may need to get the current washer fluid out of the tank and lines before you get fluid in that can handle the temps you are looking at.
Heated nozzles wont help if the tank and lines are frozen.
I didn’t see anything mentioning heated nozzles for either headlights, windshield or rear window.
Also headlight washer only works when headlights are turned on and windshield washer is activated. Also only supposed to work every fifth winshield washer cycle and if there is sufficient fluid in reservoir.
I had this issue before on a previous vehicle, had to find a heated garage to unfreeze the reservoir and lines, run out some of the existing fluid put in additive to drop freezing poi t. Run it a lot more to clear the lines and add fluid with a much lower freezing point.
