Have you cleaned the filter?

Daft point I know, like 'have you put petrol in it' but these are very common to get clogged up over time, and people don't know they're there. Mine was MoT advisory, too on this, that's all.

Nooo! Worry not.. PFLs it's not, and FL the access is even easier.

Open bonnet, behind where the grille would sit, on your right/NS dig down and pull the motor out from the reservoir, the little rubber johnny should be self-evident.  :y

Standard washer pump, but cleaning basically the same

Just to clarify, for future readers...  cleaning the filter out is just a bonnet open job, but to replace the pump whole will be a bumper off job, as you found out.  :)

Glad you're sorted now, sorry it wasn't just gunk in the system  :(
