There is normally only 1 pump fitted unless the car has headlight washers which were not an option on UK cars.
If it does, one pump feeds the headlamp washers, the other pump the windscreen and rear window washers.

The pump simply pushes into a rubber seal in the reservoir

The larger of the two pumps, light washers, sits nearer the engine and uses the corresponding larger diameter tube.
The smaller pump has two tubes, one for the front screen and one for the rear.
They are not interchangeable as they're different sizes and from memory, only the windscreen washer uses a filter.

What might get you is that the original pump spins forwards or backwards depending which port the water is expected to exit. Many of the aftermarket replacements spin the other way, which means you have to get creative with the pipe routing.

To be honest i forgot my headlights had washers,had headlights stored in a different shed,its why when assembling engine bay,could not figure out why i had 2 pumps ,and only tubing for 1 pump,other tubing was with headlights,i had 2 original pumps from stock stored away,so hopefully i can get it sorted now with the help i got here.
Thanks

Helpful hint: before you fit the pumps back to the reservoir, spin them up on a battery to make sure they work!
