gary goodwin Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Any help on this would be most appreciated! Here's what I've done so far - 1. dismantled and cleaned out the one way valve on the hose near the windscreen.. 2. removed/cleaned out and replaced the washer reservoir as it was full of gunk....17 years worth. 3. replaced washer jet on windscreen. Still no joy...I can hear the pump working but no water is coming out! Also, when i took out the headlamp to get at the reservoir I found 2 mystery mystery connectors floating in there...any ideas what they are? think ones a head lamp motor... Cheers!

Mo Murphy Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Gary, your pipes and washer jets are probably full of the same gunk from the tank. Time to clean out or just replace. The other connectors are headlamp levelling and the alarm sounder. HTH Mo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary goodwin Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 Thanks a lot Mo! The jet washers had worked up until a few months ago, hopefully its just a clean out needed...I've searched the net on how to do that for such small pipes...any tricks? was thinking of connecting my small compressor. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Just replace the clear hose, any car spares Inc Halfords can supply it by the metre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Murphy Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I just disconnected each end and put the airline on the pipes to blow out the snot. Probably better to change the washer jets as clearing them can be problematic. HTH Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary goodwin Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 Unfortunately there's not a lot of shops where I am at the moment, so here's what Ive done. 1. disconnected the hoses from the non return valves/straight joiner 2. Pumped loads of water through the pipes from the washer reservoir towards the non return junction - clear now! 3. removed washer jet, taped my compressor to the spigot and blew air back towards the non return junction - clear now! 4. taped my compressor to the rear hose at the straight junction, removed rear jet washer and blew that pipe out...clear now! Put everything back together and now its working great! Thanks for the help everyone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTH Mo Ha...did this today with air and water...and it worked! I'm still confused about the alarm sounder tho, I can't see where to re-connect it!

Mo Murphy Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 IIRC (I dont have a TD5) it would be on top of the Lh chassis rail. Set your alarm off and follow the sound 😉 Assuming of course that a factory item is fitted. Mo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Tiredness got the better of me yesterday, I don't have the BBUS alarm installed and the regular alarm fuse had blown...nice little wild goose chase. Anyway, all sorted now. Thanks for the help lads! g  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
