[doc] Re: windscreen washer bottle motor - Available in UK? YES

["Phill Wright" <psw@xxxxxxxx>]

Hiya..

off-the-peg at halfords - £14 mine cost ... but DMUK have em for a 
tenner - http://www.delorean.co.uk/DMUK/newparts1.html#washerpump

You'll more than likely find that the hose leading to it has gone 
hard as well, so you might want to get a short piece of new hose (the 
larger of the 2 sizes my local car shop had in stock) and an in-line 
washer pipe joiner - cut the original hose back about 10 inches to 
where it is still soft and join a new bit on - if you want to be posh 
then fit an in-line non-return valve instead of the joiner and you 
won't have to wait 10 second before water gets to the jets every 
time :-) (wish I'd thought of that when I did mine)

The bottle is a mare to get out and the tub it sits in even more of a 
mare to get back in, if you have access to a pit or a lift it would 
be a lot easier.

Another tip .. when putting it all back in I had a job getting the 
washer bottle to stay in place while wrestling to get the holding tub 
back in place - solved that by lightly gripping the neck with a pair 
of mole grips to stop it dropping back down the hole.

Hope it helps
