Washer Woes

After having a garage work on the measly front windscreen washer performance, the washer has actually deteriorated. On the journey home, I went from the washer working well to the driver side stopping completely. After a few more days of use, the driver side washer still doesn't work (I've tried poking a wire down it to clear it) and the passenger side is a trickle that barely reaches the wiper travel.

Can anyone help with diagnosing and repairing this problem. I don't want to waste a 100 mile trip and a day off work going back to the garage.

Yours Aye

There is a non return value in the nearside wing near the bulkhead. Mine had failed giving very poor spray to the windscreen as you suggest. It looks like a a normal joining connector.

Might help...

Cheers. I just picked up the stuff to fit a pair of dual nozzles to the bonnet. Can't be bothered ripping open the dash to repair the originals. I fit a new non-return, too.

Don't need to rip out dash just to get at the existing outlet.
Lots of good stuff on this site, eg I used this advice:

when my washer broke in a car wash over here.

Pulled the new assembly apart and pushed on a new one to replace the Landy default design. Sold the much modified 110 2.8, in Oz
Brought the 90 home from Switzerland ...

No return valve, I was getting hardly a drip, replaced it and now it's like a pressure washer

Both front and back valves are located inline under the bonnet between the heater box and the wing near the bulkhead.

Or just take the non return valve out. Even OE ones fail
