Washer Motor

[Guest Pacman]

Hi

Just fitted my mini wiper motors with shiny new stainless steel arms and blades from Stoneliegh .Now Im fitting the washers can any one tell me where is the best place to break into the loom and what wires to use. If any one has a 2Lt EFi where to fit the bottle as Ive run out of space . I Also have to fit the electric demister. then im ready for the SVA

You've run out of room! in a 2B!! and you've not even got a heater in!! *bleep*s, you're not looking properly.

don't try to fit the sierra bottle, get a small one from something else (some did mention a nice one a couple of weeks ago)

Hi Paul I used a bag type from europa @http://www.europaspares.com/ worked well and is small about £12 I think .You can allways try putting it in the boot (or was that the battery)sorry Bill could not resist.

have a look at my web page http://www.stevedohc2b.freeserve.co.uk/month__four.htm

All the best

I put mine low down on the front of the passenger’s foot panel used a escort mk3 one I think. The wires are black/yellow and black but can’t remember where they appear out of the loom

As for the demisters I used fuse 18 (heater motor) as it was redundant and seemed the logical one

just been out and taken this photo hope it helps

(or was that the battery)

We are using one from the "Rear washer" of a Granada its nice and slim with a long neck And we are fitting it in the front lh side by the firewall where we have plenty of room

Whatever you use it must be 1 Litre or bigger.

No problem there then It hold nearly 2 litres

I had to go and check though

Nigel,.

 

Why does it have to be 1tr or larger ?

[IanS]

It has to be bigger than 1 ltr because this is the rule.

It will be measured at SVA and a pass requires it to release at least 1 ltr of water.

I wouldn't be too precise on this one. I've never heard of anyone having the capacity of their washer bottle measured. 1L is only a 10cmx10cmx10cm cube of water. If it's bigger than a brake fluid reserviour then its unlikely to be failed.

*bleep*s,

How did that one get past the filter ?

Oh yes the wiring for the washer motor, we just put some more wires in and as its positioned on the bulkhead ( Below where some folk have their batteries) there is only a short bit before it enters the cockpit and then is hidden from view under the scuttle.

[Guest Battery Bill]

Hey how come you can say it Jim but us low life can't ?
