Is there any liquid in the reservoir? Check all connections. Not an expert btw. :lol1:

There is water in washer tank for the windscreen which i take it supplys the headlights aswell, i may be wrong. I have only used them once in three years.

Classic or newage?

Try pulling off the pipe to one of them and see if water reaches there ;)

if it does pricking the holes with a needle maybe clogged with Wax or dirt

same thing on mine...98 classic...just a farting noise from passenger footwell type area? is there another reservoir somewhere?, or a relay or something.

To be honest, I'm not sure water on its own will clear your lights, but hey :)

isn't there 2 pupmps fitted to the Screen washer bottle, find the noise first ;)

Unlikely the pipes are blocked so pull off the pipe from the pump first ;)

I have never tried to prize the jets out either, is there access to them via the Foglamp covers!! OK not so easy brackets and foglamps etc ;)

Cheers fot the replies. The noise is inside the cabin, i have looked to see if there is a relay or seperate tank in the manual and there was no mention. Looked up in the footwell and there is a black plastic thing there, did not fancy taking anything apart till i no what it is. Will have another look when i get chance.
