Windscreen washer motor
Windscreen washer failed so I've removed the motor. Haynes manual shows and states pump fitted to the rear of the bottle close to the level sensor and accessible by removing the wing liner but replacements are slightly different with different connector. One replacement appears identical but is apparently for the rear washer with connection pins at 90 degrees to mine.
Others listed as front washer bottle are clearly not the same as I've removed. Where is the front washer pump motor located. Front or rear of the washer bottle? edit, Just realised I should be able to trace the hose from jets to pump. Bit annoying if I’ve unnecessarily removed the wrong pump due to Haynes directions as its now damaged and needs replacing!

Quick update for anyone needing to do this. The pump was fine but had corroded connectors. Corrosion removed with a small file.
The pump can be removed and refitted by removing the indicator and using your left hand through the indicator hole. Squeeze the metal wire to remove the electrical connector. Fit the hose before refitting the pump. I used a hose clip on it. Washing up liquid on the rubber gasket before fitting it to the bottle then washing up liquid on the pump to refit it. Couldn't edit the above post as there was no edit button.
