Problem with windscreen washers

[sf8752]

Can you please tell me how to pull away lining etc

I did mine just with the lining and that included changing the powerwash pump!

Helped that my liner was a bit broke at the time. You should be able to ease the clips off at the front and undo the screw.

Yes, I have. And it's a pain in the archibald. Call the AA (or whoever you are with) tell 'em what it is and ask them to fix it. It should get done on the grounds that it's a satefy critical item. If you can do it when at work your case will be stronger.... because they can't leave you unable to drive homw.

All you need to do is pull away the access panel underneath, and pull back the arch liner, take the pump out, and pull the filter out.

In theory this is a quick job, unless like me the 3 screws in the wheel arch liner are rusted solid!!

Apologies for hijacking this thread, but does anybody have any ideas how to get them out? If I end up drilling them out, does anybody know if they're a standard size screw I could replace from any old hardware shop?
