Hi Everyone

A few weeks ago I noticed that the jet of water coming out of the windscreen wasker spouts had lost some power - the water was barely hitting the screen. A couple of times it took a few presses of the button on the streering wheel to get some water out (and annoyingly the wipers themselves were going at it on a dry windscreen making it even harder to see!).

Now they are not working at all. I could be wrong but I thought I could remember hearing a noise whenever I activated the wipers, like a motor ejecting the water, but there is nothing except the sound of the wipers.

I've Googled this and it may be that there is a blockage in the water pipes stopping water coming out, but the loss of any power (if I am right about there being some) makes me think that maybe an electrical fault that might be a quick fix.

I'm loath to put it in the hands of the local garage for fear that they'll take a few hours trying to work out what is wrong as it is one of those problems that may not have an obvious cause.

Anyone got any ideas as to what I could check.

Cheers.
