**cartm58** · 20th September 2006, 10:34 AM

my 1993 range rover has functioning windscreen wipers rear wiper and rear wiper washer jet the front windscreen washer jets have ceased functioning, have checked to see if the nozzles were blocked.

Any ideas on whats gone wrong and any suggested solutions other than the washer pump needs replacing

They have separate pumps for front and rear. You could pull the washer bottle and swap the pumps or hoses and see what happens.

I'm not sure but I suspect the washers have in-line non-return valves. You might want to check those.

Does the washer motor work? You should be able to hear it buzz away.

Check if there's a one way valve fitted in the washer line. These can block.

Failing that, fit the front washer hose onto the rear washer pump & see if operating the rear washer now pumps out the front. If it does, you'll neeed to check why the front pump isn't working.

Scouse is at Parramatta, and I'm at work at Springwood - lemme see, about 50km apart.

Near enough for me. I can't possibly be cheating.
