windscreen washer doesn't work????
my windscreen washer doesn't work, when i press the button the wipers move but it does not spray.
the bottle is full and everything visiible seems to be attached.
is this likely to be a hidden tube or and electrical wire?

Another thing to consider, although you did say you pressed the button, is that if you pull the leaver towards you, like you do to activate the washers in other cars, the wipers will move. You need to actually press the button on the end of the stalk for the washers.
But you probably already did that.

when you press the button can you hear the pump running? If so, try opening the bonnet and test it open - does it work now? I had this last week after changing the spark plugs. I was absolutely SURE I connected all the washer pipes etc back together. Turns out the hose was kinking when the bonnet closed so the water couldn't get through

ah ok. in that case you can stop looking for kinks and blocked filters. for now anyway
It's got to be either the pump or an electrical connection/fuse/relay problem then.

It is the No Return connector between the nozzle and tube to wash bay. When no water at all comes out of one of the jet nozzles and the other sprays you know something is up with that nozzle. Turns out there is this No return connector which has a spring ball inside it. This allows water to go 1 way and not back. My old one packed in. It was the spring against the bally. Supposedly 5mm for classic scooby (but this 4mm worked the same). Was happy to see it squirting again
