After removing my rear wiper and putting a blanking plug in, i can't seem to work out how to cut the water off the tube. Can anyone tell me how they got round this? ________________________________________ sharland wrote: Your life is like an action movie. And I want in. CARL. |

unplug the motor wires on the screen wash tank? I'm sure you can get blanking plugs for washer hose at a car shop.________________________________________ Spanner Monkeys Monkey SpannerForum Search Clicky |

Essentially it just needs to be plugged...no clear cut way of doing it. I think unplugging the wires may help. Not a great mod to do in November though  ________________________________________ "Rules are for the interpretation of wisemen and the obedience of fools" (Colin Chapman, Lotus founder) |

get a single outlet pump off a 106 and you could leave the hose in place, but unplugged. the hose runs right through the roof of the shell and through the boot so a pain to remove and refitif you triggered the rear wiper hose, the front would spray instead [have got one on the 306 i'm building] ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

I did this because my rear wiper arm had seen better days and i wanted a smooth look to the rear. I have to admit the difference in look is considerable. ________________________________________ sharland wrote: Your life is like an action movie. And I want in. CARL. |

It looks smarter i think  Just shoved a bit of metal rod in mine and then used a little clip to put pressure on the rod and stop any water coming out, easy peasy Think i got the info from my MAX POWER 306 guide    ________________________________________ Just Drive It |
