    Another quick query (Hopefully)

    Windscreen washer pump seems to have packed in. I have checked the fuse and thats fine. Pulled out the pump and reservoir and gave it a good clean and that didnt work either.

    Is there anything else obvious Im missing?

    When you pull the stalk you should hear the pump working.
    Is there a noise?

    With an indicator bulb and a bit of wire, and taping the stalk in the on position, you could eliminate everything but the pump.

    Did you use proper screen wash in it or washup liquid? I believe the wash up liquid can be an issue over time. With cold water it just lodges at the botom of the washer bottle and doesn't mix with the water, and the motor has to work harder to push it thru
