you beat my lowest miles between MOT by miles i feel like a infidel now :ROFLMAO:

I'm doing about 1,250-1,500 miles a year at the moment and didn't think anyone was going to better that. When I bought it back in 2008, it was closer 35k...

i am around that now, max just over 2.2k, mine was always a second car as the work van had a tracker on it, lowest one year was just over 700 miles so i didn't even change the oil

No water getting on the windshield. No buzzing sound when I press the lever. Guess I'm out to buy a new water pump. ;)
make sure you remove the washer bottle and clean it out as it gathers scum over years ect have a look inside with a torch once off as you cant see it from outside as there's mold ect build up, i used washing up liquid and hot water, with mold you need to leave it overnight.
, i bought a febi pump to replace the one i had as it was leaking when i used the washer i even bought a new seal , and it turned out it wasn't the pump just crap in the water system, once bottle is put back in run water though the system , worse case remove the jets to clear out pipes as i have also had that as i got new front jets and it wasn't them it was scum in the system.. read loads of times about the windscreen washer tabs you put in the bottle as they can block everything up

Thanks for the detailed advice - I will sure follow it. Washing the water bottle is a good idea - it is so hidden that I don't have a clue how dirty it is. I also will go with a Febi pump - seems the most reasonable cost/quality.
