    With the sub-standard crap that comes with every second purchase, whether it be the wrong part, defective part, or just built wrongly, how does society still function?

    Well!! My run of F@#K S%^ttery continues. Bought a brand new after market washer bottle from , Patrolapart, when I was in Melbourne. Went to install it today. I had already siliconed the two rubber seals and glued the motor housing to the bottle. Through past experience, I have found that the motors can pop out in rough conditions or if being jostled when changing a headlight. Which by the way, another brand new one has already got cracks in it and has moisture on the lens.
    Any way, the motors are both leaking out the bottom, from inside. So I'm 380 ks from Lilydale stuck with two leaking bottles!!
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    Refitted the old washer bottle. On closer inspection, I found the exact defect in the bottom plastic casting on both new pumps, not the motor seal I suspected. I bet the whole batch is defective. Tried sealing both with silicone rubber. Only time will tell if it works.
