I wonder if my rear washer not working is a rear problem or a front (washer bottle end) problem. |

There are more steps if necessary to getting to the bottom of this but it depends what results you get from this.

Hose disconnected. She is not a squirter but the pump is sounding. My thinking goes a bit like this: If the tea strainer was all gummed up, perhaps the inner gubbins are too. I won't take it al apart on the drive and I won't do the 16 wheel shuffle to get it into the garage this evening. Wednesday will be the day of reckoning. What tips have you got for getting to the root of the problem? Thaks for the help and interest. Fred. |

Once you've got everything moving, adding a pint of white vinegar to the washer reservoir will help clean things through and it does a pretty good job of cleaning the widows too! Might smell a bit like you've just ram-raided Harry Ramsdens but that's not a great problem really

Dear Pals,
Thanks for the continued interest. I've sorted the squirter (see Video link below) and also changed the plugs and leads (looks like they wanted it). Hope everyone is happy and well. Best wishes and thanks very much for helping me, F VIDEO |

Good shout on the plugs and leads, i take it you gapped the new plugs to 0.65-0.7mm before fitting?
You're right about the front washer pump being "gruntier". The rear pump only supplies washer fluid to the rear screen single jet. The front pump supplies not only the two screenwash jets but the headlight washer jets as well. All in all some great work there and a satisfying result!

Not much of a pain to get them out and do it once I have some feelers. Next thing I'd dearly love to do is give it a drive. Alas I can't; it is sent out in rotation with the other cars to do the shopping collections. Two jobs upcoming are:

The plugs look like NGKs and the default gap from factory is 0.9mm - this equates to having driven 20k miles on them in terms of gap size (plug gaps increase by 0.1mm per 10k miles in a normal, good engine) so i'd definitely suggest getting some feeler gauges and correcting the gaps on them.

Green book states 0.7-0.8 for my B230FK. I fitted new NGK plugs last year and when checked with feeler they were all a tight 0.8 so I didn't adjust and they have been fine.
The one nearest the distributor is a bit of a pain but using Dave's excellent hose pipe trick made it a lot easier
