The wipers still work, I can't seem to hear the washer motor at all. I've checked the fuse and that is fine - didn't really think it was that as the wipers are on the same fuse and they go. Plenty of water in the resoir. Any ideas of what to check next? Or is this one for the auto electrician to sort? Cheers for your help. Edited 19/02/15 10:11 AM by karlp2

Pull pump out of the bottom of the bottle you will see the filter, remove and clean.

I could blow down the tube and hear the tank bubbling but still the pump was too weak to suck water through. Had to fully disassemble and clean/ bleach tank and filter
