Disco 1 Headlight Washer Motor

Hi all,

Seems my little lady is having issues lately, the last one was the headlight washer motor packing in - not a great issue, as easy to replace, but when replacing the headlight washer motor broke off the pipe bit, so I now need one of them - which is proving difficult to find, or very expensive.

Has anyone found an alternative pump to fit and power the headlight washers (given it is larger than the windscreen motor and also has a larger diameter pipe), as need this fixing asap as running around without a headlight washer system...just a squirty bottle in my hand at the traffic lights!

Cheers

I know, but as its there, it's a mot requirement to work, and hassle to have it all removed, as not sure how to block up the water bottle.....

• 'DCR’ mark on the headlamp lens or body
• an igniter module or inverter behind the headlamp
• taking a few seconds to reach full intensity
• a bluish tinge to the light

Mmm, slight problem there as I have done a full custom hella bi xenon headlight conversion, hence the need for the headlight washers, so my thinking is I need them despite being an old codger d1....
