Have you checked the little pump in the washer bottle is working? Had one once in a car where the pump was spinning but the impeller had disintegrated.

The motor/pump is pressed into washer bottle.
First check the spade connectors are still good. Use a voltmeter to check that you have voltage when the stalk is pressed.
If you have and the pump isn't, (they do fail) a new pump is cheap .... (ADU3905)

Thanks guys.

Looks like both pumps in the washer bottle have stoped working.

Deffo power going to the pumps.

Just a tricky one that both pumps have gone at the same time.

Yeah, that's odd...

Lost an eath maybe ?

Get a mate to hold the pumps when you press the washer button on the steering . If like me you have a two pump set up on the washer bottle you can then tell if its the front or rear one. If both of them buzz when you press their button, the you need a new non return valve which costs about £2-3 . You can test the pipe and the outlet nozzle is clear or working by blowing down the pipe one the non return valve is removed. If you can blow through it and air comes out of the nozzle then you have the culprit. I did mine by adding a new length of 2 metre pipe, a new non return valve, new pump and new LR nozzle too. Overkill but cheap at about £15 for it all.
I have nice MOT standard washer jets now...
