Replacing the washer pump is one of the easier jobs. There are just a couple of screws which fix the pump to the bulkhead; the two pipes were actually more difficult to remove as the rubber had perished a little.

The new alternator arrived - turned out a new one was as cheap as getting the old one repaired or a reconditioned one. MGOC Spares even sent a new connector plug, but the old one fitted just fine.

Since I've had the car the alternator warning light has always been lit up to indicate the battery is not getting charged when the engine is running.
