Go along to Super cheap ( or similar ) they have after market pumps there for about $15 new I have used them on my Beetles no problems

Just have it under the water tank so it gravity feeds easy to hook up with a micro switch in the washer arm of the steering coloum
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

I've fitted plenty of them to buses... you should not have a problem.
Blow some compressed air gently through the lines and nozzles, maybe they are slightly blocked.

from where mines located it would be about 500 mm rise make sure you gravity feed the pump from the water tank, and as per above make sure the nozzels arnt blocked clean with a pin n air
