What do you mean by 'motors ok'? if you mean it's running then pump/pipe is blocked, or, if pumping water, washers jets blocked, or pipe disconnected and water going somewhere other than on screen. Are your feet getting wet?

It is possible for the stalk to be faulty and still operate the rears.

Get a sowing needle and unblock the nozzles. They get blocked with crap.

Thank you all.....ITS FIXED...........I stripped the lot ,washer bottle ,hoses ,pump motor :oops: :oops: ..Id crossed the pump connectors over by mistake i had hastily rebuilt both pumps when i first had car to get her through the m.o.t. But i new one of the pumps was a bit iffy,an i think you can guess the rest.

Dont those washer bottles clog up with slime etc (UGH) ! :D
