hi all
      windscreen washer is not working,plenty of water in tank,the headlight washers seem to work on the first go and then not after,rear washer working fine,does each system have its own pump?if so which is which?
I can hear a pump running when I operate the switch
  thanks

got up this morning checked the fuse which was fine,tried the washer and its working,I had the bonnet up for a couple of hours yesterday and think the water may have run back towards the reservoir,well thats my theory  :)
