Washer bottle and pumps

Post by kingbillybongo » Fri Mar 30, 2012 6:26 pm

Been on google and eBay to try and get a bottle and pumps?i could get away with just the rear screen pump and grommet but only seem to be able to find the front pump.apparently the front and rear pumps are different ?any help would be appreciated.
Thanks. Cam

I have seen a pop bottle with a washer pump glued in just to get by for a year or two!
Could you not just plug the hole Silicone coated cork? and fit another bottle from something else?

the front and rear pumps are nearly the same, the only difference is the dirrection the outlet spout points and the connection plug is slightly different. if you buy the one you can get just pull it to bits like in the thread posted earlier, then rebuild using the new non leaking body.

the leak if caused by frost will be at the bottom face, as its the only joint in the water area,the rest is electrical, i took mine out twice before i spotted where it was leaking as the body wasnt cracked. just bung it up with a 2 part glue, worked well on ours till i got a replacement.

Hi
If you want a permanent plastic repair, then this is the stuff:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Plastic-Repai ... 694wt_1185
I mistrust the use of repair adhesives, generally, but this little beggar really works...our plumber recommended it, and he's repaired a shower tray with it!...and it lasts!!!
Cheers
