Thought id check the car over and while testing the windscreen wipers found ive got only 1 washer working so i checked the pipes and nothing coming out of the one washer jet never noticed it before as hardly used wash wipers and bought the car 2 months before last years MOT and it passed without any fails ( must have had the silly grin on my face still)
checked in bible looks like a dash off and create access panel to fix it. previous owners ( loser) must have just left it how it was when the washer tube fell away at some point i have never had any wet patches anywhere no joke please! hahahaha but without investigating further i hope it passes tomorrow
ranting it just pizzes me off that you spend a lot of time fixing bodges that are none of your doing

have you actually checked that there's no water coming out of the pipe. its very common for the jets to block up especially if you never use them.
