Mine tend to stop working when the fluid level is low??
Failing that, check the pipes on the rear of the jets, or the connections.

feel a bit stupid now! put some water in and they work, thanks Rossco!
Obviously theres a sensor in the fluid resevoir so only the windscreen washers work when the water is low.
thanks again

Headlight washer pump has probably died
EDIT: Just found out some info. The fuse for the Horns is also for the Headlight Washers!! Yellow 20amp

If you've got less than 1litre in your fluid reservoir, the washers won't work.
