Unhappy

the driver side seems to have given up the ghost, and the passeneger side is extremely tempremental..
the pump seems to be working, and no kinks or leaks from the hoses..

not sure what to try next-compressed air thru the hoses?

any ideas guys? 'screen is minging and getting cheesed off continually cleaning it once Ive stopped..

they are totally usesless at speed..

Likeliest reason would be crud in the jets. Unclip them from the car and either put new ones in, or clean the old ones with pins/small drills.

Compressed air would help, but water would be even more effective - just backflush everything.
