Window Washer pump

[hana 5284]

Hi all, I have just had Hana MOTd and she failed on not enough pressure in the window washer, does anyone know either where you can get a new pump or if anyone else has had this problem with and MOT and we can argue the toss that its a 26 year old car and it is what it is !
Cheers

Make sure the seal on the bottle itself is clean and free from grit.

Test with some water and check if it drips prior to refiting housing back.

Make sure the drain holes are clear in the black housing .

It could be your jet is slightly blocked? , pull off the rubber hose and see if water comes out of there ok .

They are available from other motor spares places, but I don't have the numbers off the top of my head...

Check first of all that it's not simply a blocked nozzle. I clean mine by running the edge of a sheet of paper along the slot in the jet. For a severe blockages use a short piece of tube connected to a foot pump. Disconnect the water hose from the rear of the jet and push the air hose onto the front - a few quick blasts will fire any crud back the way it came!

In all cases be careful not to snap the clips the hold the jet to wiper.
