Ford Fiesta screen washers

[cigar]

Hello,
Im new here and Ive got a problem which Im guessing is dead simple, but i dont know how. Dont necessarily want to take things apart if there is an easy solution.

Ive got an R reg Fiesta and my screen washers are not producing the liquid. The motor runs, the bottle is full (and not frozen). i get a little dribble and then nothing. Anyone got any ideas? (Not a leak because bottle still full from when i filled it up). It applies to the rear too.

stick a pin in the nozzle, may be blocked

Tried it breezer. still the same. It occurs to me that since i live in a hard water area that there could be some liming up? However i always use a screen wash.

pull the pipe off that goes to the nozzle and try again, or have you done that already?

Cant remember if it's the same on a Fiesta, but on some cars where the washer pump fits into the reservoir, it is inside a little rubber washer/filter.

These do get bunged up esp. in hard water areas. We always used to pull them out and cut the bottom cpl of mm off of it and refit.

cheers
