could be the pump is on it way out for the windscreen washer, the headlight washers should be a seperate pump and the rear will be sererate as well.

Not got a clue a mate. If you need your washers swap the pipes over on the pumps, as they should next to each other on the bottle. I would only do that as a tempory fix tho, not sure if the pump is smaller.

The pump is push fitted into the washer bottle which is not difficult to get off.

You can get replacement pumps off e-bay, I bought one for our Xantia, cost half what the dealer wanted, was the same brand as the one I took off.

DO take the time to thoroughly clean out the washer bottle and the pipes too if you can.
