   I have this really annoying problem.. The windscreen and rear washer won't work!
   
   When I use the stalk, the wipers go, recognising that I'm using the stalk, but no water comes out, not even a noise coming from the pump..
   
   What have I got to replace? Had a quick look at the reservoir (which is really lose) but everything seems to be connected up okay...?
   
   Any help is greatly appreciated!
   
   Thanks,
   Dan.

   Same problem happened to me this morning. First thought is if there is no buzing noise the pump is dead. Pump is a simple push fit into the bottom of the washer bottle (rubber o-ring seals it). Remove front driver wheel and wheel arch liner to see it.
   
   Could also be stalk but not very likely.

   As I suspected Thanks for the quick reply!
   
   This what I probably need?

   Its better to buy a new 1 as 5mins done the line the used 1 could fail & new 1`s aren`t that much more expensive anyway.
