There must be some on a PFL bonnet somewhere that's destined for the scrap yard :-/ Both sides are the same on a PFL but handed on a facelift.

And of course you forgot to take spares from the other before you sent to the sky park

Price is about correct...just rang VX at Bromely and they want £19=25 + vat a side.

If my memory is correct the 2 wires do start to corrode over time so maybe taking them from a breaker would be false economy given what a pain in the a*** they are to get out without damaging the retaining plastic tangs.

Time to count my pennies in the omega fund pot

They're not too difficult to remove, just push in each tab a side at a time as you're gently pushing the washer out.

One side of mine blocked up last winter.

I broke the feed pipe where it disapears up into the bonnet.
Drained the water out.
Filled it up with washing up liquid and left it for a day.

Next day, I took airline and blasted air down the pipe from the NOZZLE end 
It looked like a load of green snot came out of the pipe 

Put it back together
It still works great today
