just found out my MOT is due next tuesday :O
my washers aren't working! i replaced the jets just incase, to no avail.
what happens when i press the washer is:
1. the motor(?) whirrs,
2. after about ten minutes of holding the washer lever, it starts to spray out (tiny amounts)
but now it's stopped spraying altogether. i looked in a haynes manual, but it gave me no clues as to what to do...
should i replace the pump? if so, how much should i be looking to pay at the scrappys?
cheers

tried taking the pump out?
Clean the motor and the bottle and make sure the motor is in the bottle properly

Is the motor still pumping? If so just take the bottle out and give that a good clean out, there is also a little rubber filter thats probably blocked up.

I had this a few days before my last MOT, I think you'll need to get the pump replaced, as that is what happened to mine, I think it cost around £140 ish, speak to vauxhall and see how much they cost

Right easy then, just pull the motor out and whip the bottle out too and do what I said up the page. I take it the motor is still working just?
