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 old pump had seized up inside, connecting it up after we removed it confirmed what we thought - it was trying to turn, but wasn't getting any further than the initial 'thunk'. The new pump is pretty powerful - more so than my normal car - so no worries about that!
A while back I inherited a 1979 MGB GT. It had been sat in a garage for nearly two decades and was in desperate need of a bit of attention. Knowing absolutely nothing about cars and even less about engines I, of course, decided to get it back on the road.
