I filled the car up with with a mix of water and fluid but there is still nothing being dispensed through to the windscreen. Used a pin to see if there was a blockage but still not working. I cant fnd where the fuse would be as someone said it may be that or a kink in the coil but cant find it either.

Hi Heather,
You don`t say whether the pumps still `buzzing` when you switch the washers on.

If it is, look for a water pipe blockage, if not check the electrics and fuse. (Don`t know your car so can`t help with position.
regards

Thank you.

Its a 52 Astra, yeah its still buzzing so from your answer there must be a blockage. I have tried to have a look but can't see where the line runs to and from.

You will need to remove the washer pump and clean out the small filter. Will need to partially remove the passenger side inner plastic wheel arch liner to gain access to the washer bottle and pump.
