The windscreen washer on the drivers side has finally given up working, I thought it might be a blocked nozzle but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Does one have to remove the dash to get access to the pipes and jets etc. ??It appears to be inside the firewall :mad: I can only think there must be a problem where the water pipe has a T junction in it. Is there any easy fix :angel:

Yeah our county is doing the same thing, abit of crap in the washer bottle blocks up the pipe's/nozzles, most the time you can get away with just blowing down the nozzle with an air gun off a compressor, but to properly fix the problam your best bet is to drain the bottle and clean it out.

Your'e right mate , it's behind the dash. Try a bit if compressed air into the jets before you start pulling it all apart.

Thanks Vlad, I'd already thought of rigging up something to the wipers if I can't unblock the pipe.

Thanks for the tips, I'll try the airline trick before contemplating access behind the dash ;)
