When you first switch your lights on and then wash the screen, the two
nozzles mounted under the front lights move out and back twice and
spray the headlamps each timel.
Used to, don`t any more. Can hear the pump run twice but the nozzles
don`t extend ?

Any ideas please.

Thanks in advance,
Mal.

The nozzles are spring loaded and it's the water pressure that pushes them
out and sweeps them up the headlights. If one wasn't working it could be
jammed but both, it must be a lack of water pressure even though you can
hear the pump. Check the tubing if you can see it!
