More problems- windscreen washers

[Rullverine]

My windscreen washer is rubbish! It squirts a very poor stream that reaches just to the very bottom of the windscreen- which failed the MOT, along with a bulb on the dash for the indicator (new one to me that this fails an MOT!) bulb is fine, but its not connecting! Anyway- I see no leaks, and the motor sounds fine to me. Any answers on this? Can you also get universal fitting tubing from anywhere to replace the orginal tubes?

Carefuly remove the tubing and soak it over night in a bleach... cleans the lines out a treat, also use a safety pin to try and clear out the jest and set the direction.

Electric pumps sometimes have a filter mesh on the input. Depending on what screenwash you use, can get blocked with a jelly like substance - so blocking the pump. Remove the pump and clean out the tank. Also crud in the jet is best removed with a pin like Paul said, and then reverse blasted with compressed air if you have some.

Bulb probably connects to a terminal on the flasher, else you can connect it up to the turn signal wires, but you need to use diodes to stop the power going to the wrong indicators.....

Good luck
