Has anyone any advice on this.. Mine has stopped working today! It doesn't even make the noise that its trying to spray water. Have checked fuse box, and thats fine. What could it be?

Also, would i fail MOT on it being broken?

I learnt today that apparently the jets can get furred up if you have a strong mix of screenwash in there. I'd also double check the fuse as I remember blowing the washer fuse on a Corsa C I had back in 2002, I'd tried to use it when frozen and the fuse blew, VX dealer told me it was quite common as the fuse blows to protect the motor from burning out if the water is frozen in the bottle.

My corsas washers stopped working and I looked at the manual and I could not find the "specific fuse". Where the fuse should be there was a smooth piece of plastic. After reseating all of the fuses and went to a local scrappy to buy a motor it still did not work! After looking at this piece of plastic (where the fuse should be), the plastic moved as i touched it. After playing around with it I found it to be a another cover with fuses underneath. The fuse I was looking for was there and blown. Replaced the fuse, tested ok.

I'll try the fuse... I did check mine and it looked fine (number 15 on the diagram in my booklet), the wire wasn't snapped and looked intact (connectors a little discoloured, but 7 years old car).

Could i get one of these from Halfords?

What do you mean by 'Furred' mate? It was the first time in months and months i have put screenwash in my car as well (at a 50% mix i was told it was cos my uncle mixed it lol). I normally just use water and haven't had problems ever...this is lame! lol

im suffering from a similar fate at the moment, checked fuses, all ok. changed motor this morning, still not working. it doesnt even make that noise when you pull the lever back for the screen wash to come out... am i looking at the right fuses? (to the right of the engine bay) or is there another fuse for this held elsewhere?
