Nearside one works perfectly, offside washer is more of a dribble, no real pressure there. I have taken the headlamp and grill off to try and gain access, but not much luck. Do the washers prize off? I got some movement to suggest this, but my bottle went before any plastic snapped!! Doesen't seem to be any leaks along the hose from near to offside. Ant ideas?

"ants" probably would be of no help at all!

I had a similar problem with the screen wash and finally traced it to a one way valve in the middle of the line. The spring in the valve had collapsed so it was permanently blocked in both directions.

All I did was take a bit of wire and push out the innards of the valve. It all works fine now.
