I am shooting in the dark here. but on past history ....

 

ISTR that on the Brava / Bravo, there were two pumps located on the water fill bottle buried in the res of the engine compartment (looking into car.

 

My Bravo, ended up with sludge in the front wash pipes, as a result of allowing the tank to drain fully, along with the accumulated crus from wash bottle additives.

 

 

Suggestion:

 

is the pump running to front windscreen?

 

does the pump run when targeted at rear screen?

 

if 2) - detach the water pipe and try again - runs - pipe blocked - more than probable

 

- could switch pipes over, would switch front to rear - and try again.... 

 

You can then extract wash pipe from rear windscreen of car .... and blow out the crud - taking off the jet?

 

If you take motor out of wash bottle - beware of the tidal wave of water - that will emirate from the bottle, and soak your feet!

 

 

ISTR that the motors were a standard fit on tip / brava, could probably be the same, round about 20squid (years ago!)

 

 

I doubt if there is is front back sender valve - but is too cold to go ferreting down at the moment , and its pouring with rain.

 

A lot here on 'hope' and 'help' but I'm sure that it will possibly / more than likely be furring up of the pipes etc

 

 

Hope this helps

Check back within the forum Dido - Can you hear the pump but there's no fluid on the screen? Look under the bonnet and IIRC the hose tends to drop off from the pump - happened to me not long after I bought mine. I'll check and confirm where etc.

Looks like that. Have a look yourself... ?

The collar I had was a bit too big, do you think duct tape can provide good seal... 

Yeah looks familiar!

 

I wouldn't use duct tape to be honest. You need some waterproof amalgamating tape that forms a seal like this: https://www.screwfix.com/p/self-amalgamating-rubber-tape-black-25mm-x-3m/2115V?tc=AT4&ds_rl=1249481&ds_rl=1245250&gclid=CjwKCAiAmb7RBRATEiwA7kS8VHHwSww2xiqOxWBkhf_Pmqs6cSJ0z2wBzGKAjEWPCZc7Cvp68OhhARoCyMUQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CJDorvOXhNgCFRBuGwodAqQPbA
