Tilly sadly has suffered failure of the one way valve in her washers whilst the rubber part was still in good order (due I believe to being hidden behind the dash and not in sunlight) the little non return valve in the washer feed pipe (see diagram below) has sadly lost one of its valves..
I filmed this short clip for a dutch friend to show him how the 32 washers differed from the 33 ones but it also shows the simple fix I have done for now until I can sort her 2 way valve to make the washers work properly again on her button

I simply put two pieces of rubber hose with a 6mm internal diameter on the primer bulb and literally pushed the washer hose in, no clips and its sealed just fine

the primer was the smallest one I could find listed with 6mm "tails", its worth checking which way the one way valve works before fitting it as it wont work otherwise
