its a Citroen C3..i googled the problem and saw its fuse 14 I have to change...can anyone confirm this is true?
also where would be easiest/cheapest place to get a fuse? and could it be replaced by anyone or does garage have to do it?

thanks

Have a look at the fuse first, to see if it needs replacing - the handbook will tell you which fuse and where it's located.

Thats what a fuse looks like if you dont know...

Find your fuse box.. should be a few spare fuses in there.. Take out the correct fuse.. check the contacts are joined by the thin flux wire.. if its broken then replace with the same amp fuse!! (can pick up fuses in motor factors or halfords)

Still no joy then its possibly the pump itself..

My mam's went over xmas..(chevrolet Lacetti) Was 25 for the part and fitted it ourselves.. was easy enough!
