Weird

I'm a bit south of Raven's Marian home, although a little north of her Perth house. Today- sorry - yesterday by now, it was too dark to walk without a torch    by 1600

One afternoon recently here about 3:30 as the school rush was still on it looked like dusk - dark and horrible. Scotland is going to be worse than here. At least you're not up where Raven is. Beautiful in summer but I imagine horrible now.

Not sure what this was all about yet,  but they just said on the late news that a little girl of just 3 yrs old, got sprayed with Pepper spray.

OK.  If its not raining again, I will give it another poke tomorrow.  
Thanks for trying to help.

I don't know what a garage would do or charge. I'd poke the nozzles inspect the pipe to check for leaks or kinks and if it still wasn't working put my hand over the washer bottle and squirt an air line through my fingers into it to see if anything blew through - not hard though because if the pipes come off they might be hard to get at to push back on. When I'd buggered it completely I'd take it to the garage.

All problems are fixable with the right tool which by then would be a little oblong of plastic with numbers and a name on it and a little microchip.

No,  I think the first time this started happening was quite a while before the prang, Dex.
Anyway,  the repairs were completed back in late September  (I think),  but thanks for the reply.

If it is a blocked filter,  is that a garage job?  Is it expensive?

Just had a look, Klondie,  and found this:


While a Fiat Panda doesn't typically have a specific external filter for the squirter nozzle itself, debris can clog them; solutions involve cleaning the nozzles with a pin, back-flushing the system, using washer tablets to dissolve gunk, or checking the pump/hoses, as blockages usually come from within the reservoir or lines rather than a dedicated filter.


I could ask at Halfords about the tablets, do you think?

P.S.  The back window washer works fine,  but maybe because the squirter comes from the top of the window and runs down,  whereas the front one  is the opposite?
