Windscreen Washer Pump

[KJR]

The windscreen washer pump on my 1989 400SE is struggling to get water above the bottom of the windscreen so does anyone know what car the pump/windscreen washer "bottle" is from?

Are you sure it's not the jet is not hitting the bonnet first?

Had not thought to check that. Will take a look later on today.

I gave up on trying to adjust mine and made a spray bar that ty-wraps to the wiper arm. The prototype was a bit naff but the pre-production version is much slicker

You could always modify a Chimp/Griff (Citroen?) washer hoop. Put in a t-bar in the washer pipe to feed the wiper arm sprayers.

I think it may vary but my 1988 built wedge definitely has the bottle and I think the pump from a TR7. I replaced the nozzles, pump and tubing with off the shelf Halfords items which work well as long as you use the narrowist tubing.
