Ford Mondeo washer fluid problem

My Ford Mondeo 1997 1.8 5 door washer fluid won't work?

Often what happens is the washer tubes get caught and kinked in the bonnet hinges. The pump can then exert so much pressure it pops out of the reservoir. You need a torx screwdriver to loosen the wheelarch liner to gain access.
