Hi I changed my washer pump in the summer, its not too bad a job I am lucky enough to have a copy of Vardis and used this as a guide ........ the pump is located at the bottom of the washer resevoir on the drivers side if the car ..there is no need to remove the resevoir to change the pump
1. REMOVE THE FRONT LOWER BUMPER THIS IS HELD BT ONE "RIVET" USE A SMALL SCREW DRIVER TO PUSH OUT THE CENTRE OF THE "RIVET" YOU CAN THEN PULL THE BUMPER SECTION DOWN AND OUT TO RELEASE THE CLIPS MOLDED ON ITS TOP EDGE ...REMEMBER TO DISCONNECT THE PARKING SENSOR IF FITTED
2.THE WASHER PUMP IS A SIMPLE PUSH FIT INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE RESEVOIR ( ITS ON THE SIDE, THE PUMP AT THE FRONT IS FOR THE HEADLAMPS) THE GROMMIT IT PUSHES INTO DOUBLES AS A MESH FILTER FOR THE PUMP EASE THE PUMP OUT OF RESEVOIR AND ALLOW IT TO DRAIN
3.ITS A BIT TIGHT BUT YOU CAN RELEASE THE ELECTRICAL CONNECT AT THE TOP AND THE SUPPLY PIPES FOR THE FRONT AND REAR SCREENS THE PUMP OPERATES IN ONE DIRECTION FOR THE FRONT SCREEN AND REVERSES ROTATION FOR THE REAR
4. REFIT IS THE REVERSE OF REMOVAL YOU WILL NEED TO REMOVE ONE OF THE SUPPLY PIPES AND PUT SOME WATER IN THE RESEVOIR TO PRIME THE PUMP WHEN REFITTING THE BUMPER REPLACE THE "RIVET" AND THEN INSERT THE PIN IN THE CENTRE OF THE "Rivet" ASSUMING YOU DID'NT LOSE IT LIKE I DID
I REALLY HOPE THIS HELPS TOOK ME ABOUT AN HOUR FROM START TO FINISH WISH i HAD KOWN ABOUT THE FORD PART NO. dooooooh

Please feel to ask any questions I am happy to help

Many Thanks
Mike
