Washer bottle is in electrical in the Haynes and Bentley so it's in electrical here too
My poptop washers keep getting blocked, when you wash the windscreen you can see black crap coming out the jets.
Somebody must have been using soap instead of screenwash in the past so it needs cleaning, job for this morning, pics to share as usual.
I have heard you can get legionnaires from washer bottles too but I have been using screenwash for the last year and so hopefully anything in there is now dead.
dropped the spare wheel to get access to the filler pipe

I wanted to blow out the pipes to the jets so I cut off from the pump, it would not pull off. if you didn't need to do that pump slides out

cleaning the outside was easy, inside hard so I came up with the idea of gravel and washing up liquid and shook it....worked a treat

had to stretch the pipe it's way smaller than the pump for some reason, cup of hot water and pliers

the filler seal was split but I'm happy to leave that becuse it means it pours out underneath before it pours into the cab

Re: Washer bottle clean
Nice one Paul, thanks for all the clear pictures. I was wondering how it was all connected under there!
