Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have lost one of the silver caps on my headlight washer. You know the thing that rises up and squirts the headlights, (or doesn't in my case). Can anyone tell me what its called so i can order one. Cheers

POST 2Original post

Item 14 on the attached. They are handed, so make sure you order a LH or RH. £38.39+VAT.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Perfect. Thx Richard. Last MOT was failed because these headlight washers did not work. They didn't rise up, and in fact haven't for many many a moon. My indy garage repaired them and they worked once, then broke again, then the cap vanished. I was just going to replace the cap because its unsightly otherwise. Is it an expensive experience to replace parts to get them working again. My indy said i needed new pumps, or something.

POST 4Original post

Given the fact that its nearly £50 to replace the plastic? silver cap I would hazard a guess and say yes it's going to be exspensive

POST 5Original post

Mine didn't work nor did the main beam. Replaced light switch and now both work..not sure if there is any connection between the two though

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thx Costelles
