so heres what went on the weekend!! boot wouldnt open so had to sort that out first!! washer hose came off the motor and was squirting anti freeze/water all over the handle and mechanism/solenoid so remove the lot clean it up re lubricate and luckily dried out the solenoid with a hairdryer and all good!! other than some corrosion on the inside of the boot which has been sprayed with ample wd40!!









what a mess!!
