Title: what a plonker
Post by rich1 on Feb 19^th, 2009, 7:28pm

had a block in windscreen washers today , tried every thing (i knew it wasn`t the pump thanks to highlander sending me a new one ) so i thought id take the pump off and have a butchers , first off got a tank full of water on the face then while poking about somehow managed to push the rubber grommit thing INTO the water bottle ::) , tried for what seemed like hours to get it out but in the end i gave up , phoned my local FMD and shock of shocks they had 1 in stock(i nearly fell over :o), and it only cost me 63p +vat . when i put it in the blockage had gone!!!!!

Maybe it was an old rubber grommet that someone pushed in previously ;)

Rich.
The rubber grommet thing that you shoved in,has got a filter in it which blocks up,or as Highlander says,there may be others lurking inside :)
