This morning all clear.
This would apply to most makes of car.

Windshield washers are fairly reliable.
It sits in a tight gap between the outer and inner wings of the car body itself and access is very limited.

Windshield washer fluid is usually a mixture of water and alcohol that cleans off dirt and dries off quickly.
With the car parked in a quiet place operate the window washer and listen for the whirring of the pump.
Which is an absolute b stard of a job.
Once pressed all the way through the plastic clips will expand and hold each jet in place.
Some wash bottle are easy to access and remove.
Insert the jet through the hole in the top of the hood with the outlets facing the windshield.
Pour windshield washer fluid up to the tank s fill line.
Install new washer fluid jets.
Open the bottle and pour it directly into the tank s spout.
Drove the car around a bit to aggitate the mixture and left overnight.
Does anyone know of any tricks to unclog the crap from the little filters inside the bottle.
So put hose in tank and let water run for ten minutes to flush the tank and used the washers.
I remove mine and then take it indoor to be steralised with some milton solution even though some purfumed screen wash smells nice once it dry s with the wash bottle being empty over.
