Ah! Your pump has lasted longer than mine! Alas, they don't last forever. I got a replacement off that well known Internet site for under a fiver for my 2006 Fiesta (which had just done over 200,000 miles). Fitting is easy.
Jack up the near-side front and remove the wheel. There's two screws holding the inner wing liner up to the left, and another two screws down to your left, fastening the liner to the front bumper. Peel back the liner, and there's that tiny little pump which has lasted so long.
The pump I replaced my failed one with had the nozzles coming out the opposite way to the original -- in other words, if I pressed to squirt the front screen, it would be the back screen wot got it! I had to get a bit of fish-tank pipe and a 90-degree plastic bend to extend the pipe.
A cautionary tale, now.. A few months after changing the washer pump, the wiper motor assembly failed - but what should I expect at 210,000 miles? I got a replacement assembly (it was the knuckle joint that had worn away and come apart) from the Ford specialist scrap yard at Adlington for £25. I fitted it myself, in my back yard... It's not too difficult a job.
