The next problem is the windscreen washer pump that works but doesn't pump any water
I realise that when the power steering was put in & the washer bottle was moved to the front, the motor is too far away from the bottle & can't suck the water up. On a series 2, the water bottle is here to start with & the motor connections are there too. On a series 1, the connections are 1/2 way along the loom on the inner wing, but this need extending to the front. I have an after market motor - if I was using the defunct bottle top one, I would have had to sort it out straight away as the wires wouldn't have reached!
