Try and source a washer bottle from a wagon. It will have two pumps so there's no need to wash the windscreen at the same time.

Oops I misread the first post - your wipers are also coming on as well as water squirting on the windscreen?
What wires did you connect with on your system?

i've just disconnected the pipes from the o.e jets, found 3 new jets and put them in place, using the o.e button as the switch (doing away with the windscreen washer feature all together) but if i could i'd rather have a seperate switch?? any ideas?
Thanks for your help!
