Washer pump (front)

[Channel Hopper]

Having found one of those sleeping policemen in London last week, I have a non effective front windscreen pump.

I have got the temprorary fix by bending the arch protector out of the way, swopping the pipes that deal with the front/rear for now but know it will fail an MOT if the inspection doesn't take this into account ?

It could be the wiring loom of course (doubtful) but the grease and the different connections of the pump make testing a right *******.

So, how difficult is it to replace a pump on the fluid reservoir, ( taking the bumper and the wheel arch skirts off is also a real pain)


Thanks in advance

The only time I have seen the pump properly is when I had the front bumper off..

I was able to get to the pipes through the front wheel arch skirt, the pumps are underneath the reservoir and just about accessible.
