Neither worked on our 59 plate when we got it at 8000 miles.

Drivers side needed a fuse, passenger side a pump replacement.

Very easy to remove, simply remove the rear cover on the seat, and seperate the netting inside. In there you will find a dark grey bag which holds the motor and valve block. This will be burnt and red hot if is failing.
