Can you hear the pump running? It's possible that during the cold weather, your washer fluid pipes have frozen and split or a joint has broken. Either way, water won't get as far as the nozzles if it can get out of the pipework before it gets there.

hi thanks am i saltwood . but after a good few hours and a couple of us scratching heads and pulling wires i have found and sorted the fault there was a broken wire with a dogey taped up repair that once changed worked perfectly.. the only up side is that i didnt waste money on new pump as that seems to have been faulty as well.

many thanks to all who have posted
