theres no water coming out of the washer jets, but when i pull on the wash/wipe stick you can hear the motor working, but no water's going anywhere so its not a leak somewhere in the pipes.
any ideas what it could be? also how do i get to the motor to have a look, cos its tooked under the wing and scuttle panel> in a damn difficult place

take the pipe off at the bonnet and blow down it its probably blocked or it could have came off.the motor just pulls out of the resevoir.and on the back 1 you may have a blockage to or you pipe may have came off if you take the pipe for the rear off the motor and get sum 1 to blow down it then see if anything comes out of therear jet if it does'nt then your pipe has most liikely came off.

It will either be the filter bolcked with gunk or the jets blocked. Poke down the jets with something small like a paperclip or something. If not then take the motor off and clean the filter inside it.

Yep the rubber hose pulls off and also the motor just pushes in the bottle but is tight.

There's a filter on the pump which you can clean, be careful not to split it when you do though.
