Ok - do it once etc. I just didn't want to find out something else perishes a few months down the line and have to take it all off again.

I have a new motor/pump unit and a new wiper arm and jets but the water still takes ages to start and then is more of a flow than a spray. Can someone please advise (with pics if possible) where to try and insert a non return valve if this is likely to solve the problem. There is a difference between knowing your sh!t and knowing you're sh!t

Not sure on this non-return valve but even on my rear washer (albeit leaking at the moment), it flows out - doesn't spray, mine is not new, it's the original. |

I did alanm_3’s “cheaper” rear washer leak repair today and I shall be eternally grateful to him for having devised this clever mod. Even taking things very, very slowly and carefully, and losing a lot of time searching in my various boxes for suitable screws, I had the whole thing done in about an hour and a half.

I have yet to do mine but this is encouraging. I think I am most worried about getting the trim off and not snapping anything. |
