    Was pumping up the sceen washer tank when suddenly all pressure disappeared. On inspection, it appears that the cause is a pinhole in the pressure filler stalk, pictured.

    Has anyone got one or does anyone know where I can get one or is there a way of fitting a new tube to the bottle?

    I don't want the hash of fitting an electric pump. 20190319_125720.jpg

    Sorted!

    Found some hose off an old carpet cleaner (never throw anything away!) and with a bit of hot water, fitted the tyre valve on one end and formed the other end onto the nipple (is that the right word?) On the reservoir tank. This end is nicely held in place with the original screw cap.
