    Did you wax your car recently? very common for the wax to block up the nozzles, use a pin to stick into each of them and clean them out.

    Have you put anything other than water or washer fluid in the reservoir? some substances (fairy liquid and the like) can clog the fluid lines.

    Also check under the car for water incase a tube has come loose.

    What motor is it? Would narrow it down if someone has the same model....

    Can you hear the motor making a noise?

    Is there a leak on the ground when you hit the washer button?

    I know that my Vectra seems to get air-locked very easily if the bottle is left to empty totally.
