Disco 98 Rear Wash - Land Rovers Only

PHOENIX · 09-07-2004, 11:32 PM

Back to the back again, as per my original rear wash problem I discovered a loose connection that stopped the rear wash working. I now found the water line to be completely dry. I chased the line back to the start of the pump and suspect that the water inlet may be blocked. I am going to remove the wash resovoir and see if I can get a better look. Is this a good idea? Or any suggestions ( re priming ) wins you a pint of plain in the pub of your choice in Ireland.

Cant help with the rear wash, never had that problem. I had a 93 over in England that I took over there and the ignition switch locked up on me. Are you anywhere near Clare?

Yeah, the screws mounting the botle onto the inner wing will be a total pain in the rear to get out! - in the end I just left mine, took the threee pumps out (by breaking my forearm in several places..

) and bunged my jet waher in there....

It got all of the slime and crap and washed it out of the pump mounting holes, I then cleaned the pumps up and re-fitted the whole lot thinking everything would be well - its not the pumps for main and rear are worn out and need to be renewed (how it passed its last MOT is beyond me - I would have failed it straight away!

)

Anyhooo good luck - get the nut splitter ready for those mounting bolts......

Jaysus, Mr. Hayes had the same problem in his manual, I think I'll just buy a sponge!

By the way, Hurky67 (I'm from Wicklow). Does your 93 bus need a tow or something!?
