There will be a split in the small hose that carries the water from the reservoir to the squirty thing

Going to The Lisbon

And there's the answer.

It’s not an ice issue mate.

Most cars I've had work on 6mm.
Cut along the pipe with a sharp knife to remove it from a nozzle, being careful not to apply too much force snd snap the end of the nozzle. To fit the replacement pipe, dip the end into a mug if hot water (or tea) for a minute and it'll just slip into place.

Nice one.

She bought it in July, never worked. The rest of the car is spot on.

I was an auto spark to trade in a previous life, if you bring it up to Scotland I'll sort it for you but make sure it's before brexit or you'll need a passport.

Classic Lisbon tactic there.

Long shot.

The wife has one of these. Perfect. Nice car, small exterior but big interior. I like it, I borrow it whenever I can.

The only issue we’ve ever had with it, is that the screen wash doesn’t function. The pump makes a noise, but no water appears. I’ve filled it with water before anyone asks.

Good folk of EFC Mumsnet (GOT), I ask for help.

I’ve tried;

• Sawdust
• Going to The Lisbon
• Having a jolly good bum
• Asked how much for the pair
• First
• Crap preview

Any ideas?

Have you switched it off and back on again ?

1) Take the hose off the pump end. Take the hose off the squirter thingy and blow through it to clear any blockage
2) Get a sowing needle, grip the needle with pliers (then you won't stick it in you finger...which you will, I did) and poke 'k out the squirter
3) re connect the hose to the pump - run it to prove the pump actually works.
4) fork out extortionate sum for parts and labour
