Last year, although exempt, I popped the car in for MOT... failed - MAJOR. Windscreen washers not working (because as it turns out the non return valve is missing). Last year, rather than faff about, I just popped a new external pump by the bottle and that was the MOT done.
Took it in this lunchtime for MOT... failed - MAJOR. Windscreen washers not working. This time because the new pump from last year had seized.
I think next year i'm just going to dangle a couple of tubes of pipe over the front of the windscreen, attached to a T piece and a funnel, lashed to the T bar and have a 2 litre bottle of water on the passenger seat!
(Oh and before anyone asks why I didn't check before I went? Yep that would have been the smart thing but then i'd have had to dry and polish the affected areas of course!) I don't think i've used the washers over the past year, it only goes out on sunny days and it's easier just to bug clean the screen as a spot job.)
