If you have to take the front off it only takes about 30 mins. There are youtube videos showing how to do it. When it's off it looks like this.

Thanks for that, but if I have to this to the car it wont be 30 mins Smile Well it might taking it off...but putting it back together lol

I will take a look at youtube now Rolling with laughter



Do you think I will be able to sort if I just try and remove the inner wheel arch shields?

I have read that it has its own fuse, is this easy to locate, I suspect its the fuse blown with the ice this week and trying to use the jets.
Thanks

Well I managed to get into the flaps just, one of the screws under the rough trim would not move and I could not get under to drill it out, so a few pushes and squeezes got in a bit.

I cannot tell if its the pump or electrical as I could not get to the bottle with the limited space.

Anyway, I cut the hoses and joined the rear pipe to the front pipes, so at least the front now work.

I dont know if its a stalk button issue, so will book it in when I can afford it Sad

No idea how much this will cost, but the pumps are available on ebay for £10

Thanks for the help

I don't know if the FL2 does it this way but on some cars the pump goes into reverse to drive the rear screen wash. So if the pump is working one way then it's probably the stalk. We had this recently where the front washers stopped working but the rear was OK and the stalk had to be replaced. Cost about £130 inc labour under warranty. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

From what I could tell it has two pumps, one rear and one front.
