The washers on my W reg Mondeo are barely working. I've checked that all the connections are ok & there are no blockages.The washer bottle pump sounds like it is working but hardly any water is coming out the nozzles. Would it be a faulty pump & can it be easily replaced or do I have to buy a whole new bottle.Awkward as it is fitted under the wheel arch.

Usually the pumps are just a push fit into the bottle with a rubber grommet to keep them water tight.
Why not unplug the tube to the nozzles, and see how much water you are getting from there?
Another test is to see if the back screen wash is ok (hatchbacks only) as its the same pump, but running backwards.
Try flushing the bottle out with a hose....often I find that if the owners use wash up liquid instead of the alcohol stuff, the soap solidifies.
