OK, so the job is now complete. New pump in situ, washers work all round, liner replaced, everything back to normal.
I found a plug of potting compound (blu-tac might also suffice) saved the contents of the reservoir as I pulled out the old pump. I hosed out the whole wheel arch void and squeezed out as much water from that under-sill sponge (what's it there for anyway?). I also checked the + terminal, which was utterly spotless. That red cap is a [email protected] to shift, though!
Lastly, I ventured back into the murky depths of the CJB and hosed everything in a liberal coating of WD40, including the C7 connector inside and out. I will check again in 6 months to see if any residual moisture has seeped down the cable to the plug.
