I think this is the first problem I've had with my car since I bought it four years ago (suspension spacers don't count as that was dealer error )

My windscreen washers are getting worse and worse, they started only coming out of one side with any power, so I cleaned the nozzles up and checked the pipes under the bonnet which were ok. This didn't help!

Now both sides give me a quick spurt for a second then just slow to a trickle which doesn't reach the windscreen.

How easy is it to trace the pipe down the side of the car to the pump? Anyone got any experience of changing the pump? Is it the same one that runs the headlamp washers - I could check those if they still work.

Wonder who'll be third?

Actually Nick, it's these...



The ball bearing valves are broken and blocking the water. Motor is fine - headlamp washers and windscreen washers pipes squirting water for a good few feet.

I just hope Honda Newcastle have some of these in stock

Fill it up

They are just non return valves, any make will do, universal from Halfrauds?

Cheers Martin, Halfrauds right next to where I work, I'll check them first
