Posts: 228 Thanks: 2 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Glopsy Glopsy's windscreen washers have decided to stop working today. The headlight washers operate ok,so I'm assuming the stalk/ relay is fine which points to the pump being the issue. Is the screen pump on a different fuse to the headlight one?

Posts: 228 Thanks: 2 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Went to fit the new pump today,which was a partial success. Partial in that the pump now works in both directions but whilst fitting it into the bottle I somehow managed to push the grommet into it. This leaves me with a working pump but a bottle that doesn't hold water! To make matters worse, that's the second grommet I've lost in there!!

Posts: 228 Thanks: 2 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | My grommets arrived today,and I ordered a spare just in case! Made sure I was a bit more gentle easing the pump nozzle through the grommet and into the bottle this time,which has resulted in working washers again. I'm still however not getting anything through to the back screen,even though you can hear the pump working. Any common places the back one gets blocked or the pipe coming unattached? My first thought was to fire up my compressor and blow the line through from the pump end?

Posts: 228 Thanks: 2 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Glopsy Managed to pick up yet another puncture today, just what I need on the run up to Christmas and during a lockdown. I've bought another pair of Hankooks,to match the fronts as I've been quite impressed with them after years of always using Goodyear efficient grips,and have booked a fitting time slot for Thursday.

Posts: 228 Thanks: 2 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Popped into Mr Clutch earlier as they were replacing the clutch on my wifes car and this is their quote for Glopsy's,including the dmf. The chap I spoke with reckoned that there was a good chance that the dmf would be fine and then the job would be £418. Definitely food for thought and at this rate I can see a full on resto happening!
