MilesA Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 My 3A has an original Lucas square glass washer bottle and top. The original electric pump is long gone and it operates from a small external electric pump which is fine in practice. However, as my list of tasks on the car seemed to be diminishing (!) I wondered if anyone had identified a replacement electric pump that fitted in the space in the box for the original pump on top of the glass jar lid. PS I am not so fussed that I will be replacing it with the expensive repro version! Thanks - Miles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 If you still have the internals of the original pump motor then I suspect that the internals of a separate one may well be able to be adapted to suit. Stuart.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MilesA Posted August 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Thanks Stuart - that's looking like the only option given the lack of alternatives in this instance. Miles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 When I used to restore and run Jaguars many years ago those pumps were always a problem due to water ingress into the housing but a careful strip down and clean of the armature and a bit of ingenuity to make some new brushes and they would often be coaxed back into life. The Jaguar version had 3 wires as it would give a specific timed spray from just a quick flip of the switch which was a momentary flick switch Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

john.r.davies Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Failing that, this? https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-UNIVERSAL-WINDSCREEN-WASHER-PUMP-CAR-VAN-12VOLT/253007816550?hash=item3ae870e766:g:c2EAAOSw4PxZ-GSW Or, Halfords do a range of replacements.
