Thats the one!!

You access it by sliding the pump up and out of it! just a firm pull !! - stand by for all the washer fluid to run out!! (catch it it costs money!!)

Remove the filter and wash in some bacteria killing solution and rinse out the bottle!! carefull that black slime is bacteria and you dont know what you have been growing!!

You could put the pump back in and fill the bottle with some solution to kill of the stuff that you cant move!! leave it a bit then empty and reasemble/refill !! - simples!!

HTH??

When I removed the pump I couldnt see anything that would seperate apart - has anyone got any pics of it in a joined/seperated state? The howto just shows it once it is completely seperate

Click on the rimmers link in the prevoius post then scroll down to item no- 14 there is a pic that will expand if you place the cursor over it!!

then it will be self explanatory!! remove pump!! remove filter !! if its still in the bottle dont dislodge the thing INTO the bottle!!!

Right I've had another go!

After removing pump I notice the rubber grommet

Levered it up

An out it popped

Not particularly dirty but washed it out anyway with a good quality cleaner plus washed through the tank with cleaner and hot water

As I mentioned I think the real problem was trapping the pipe but after the clean the jets now wahsthe roof as well as the screen! Not so sure thats a good thing LOL

Next question - are the nozzles adjustable - on other cars you can usually use a pin in the jet and use it to lever the jet around

Looks like a ghost!

Thats the water emptying out of the tank (pics are taken with a phone hence the dodgy quality)

I removed my pump and filter and give it all a good clean and ive got good pressure at the jets but 1 jet on each side blocks up every few weeks.

Im thinking of changeing the jets for the ones on the Jaguar S-type as these give a fine mist all over the screen!
