Hybrid_From_Hell Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Piccie below, I think the unit is from a 90 / defender, as it nicely fits on the Passenger front of the inner wing, and I know its a washer bottle - or is it. The "Pump" looks quite "Meaty" for a washer pump, so, have I ccked up - is this actually for pressure washing headlamps, ?? I was all chuffed and pleased when I found this, as the existing washer tank is not going to fit with the engine conversion - and I thought "Sorted" when I found this in the shed - or have a screwed up ?

Bowie69 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Looks the same as the Rangie headlamp washer pump -the way to solve your dilema is to fit Rangie headlamp washer nozzles to your bonnet -much much better clearing then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco_al Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 fit it and wire up the pump to your jets - as bowie has said, be a much better water flow to the screen with a more powerful pump, especially if you do the copper pipe round the manifold heated washer fluid trick.

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 But is it a HP Pump for certain ? I have the tube on wipers conversion, which work really really well, I just need to move / relaocte the old bottle mit pump which is a pig awkward shape, so rummaged in shed and found this, if its a ord washer bottle and pump I'll be happy enough if its not then I have to think what to do, waste time modding this further or bin and try plan C (whatever that is) as I wnat to get this £$%^&*(Engine running ???

Bowie69 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 It looks very like the high pressure pump, but plumb it in, if you have the wiper-tubing conversion then you don't have the massive restriction that normal jets have and thus should work fine. If you have the Peugot style wipers then a few minutes with a Dremel opening up the holes would be a good thing to do,just to increase the flow, but I don't see any issues really. Do you need working wipers to get the engine running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zim Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hook it up, press the button and see how it works Thinking about it (i can check later on the lse), there is only 1 washer tank for the windscreen & lights. These have 2 pumps on. So if yours only has 1 pump, then i'll be screen. {Or is this only the p38 and not RRC?} G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landy V8 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 nige that looks exactly the same as the bottle on the 90 wings that i bought. ralph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crclifford Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 nige, looks like a td5 washer bottle. i got one when converting my 90 to a 200, though mine has 2 pumps on it. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRecklessEngineer Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Zim has a point - my Disco had one washer bottle and two pumps - one LP and one HP. So if that bottle only has one pump...id say it's a fair bet that it's an LP pump. Again, as others have mentioned, you need a restriction to generate the high pressure. If you haven't got a nozzle on the end, then even if it is an HP pump, it isn't going to generate much pressure at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 It's not a defender bottle but looks like it'll do the job Alternatively buy a TD5 defender under wing bottle, they come with a HP and an lp pump as standard. Replace the lp pump with a HP pump then have a pump for each wiper. That'll clear your screen HTH Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacr2man Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 It might be defender with aircon washer bottle , the pump looks like it has a pressure limiting valve in output with overflow back into top of tank . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickwilliams Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 My vote is that it's a Power Wash pump and reservoir, which was fitted (as an option) to the Defender from at least 200tdi onwards. I've never seen one, but my 1990 90 has the wiring for it. I'll have it if you don't want it! Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nige Looks like its PRC3300 washer bottle with an ADU6409L headlamp washer pump, so high pressure then.
