Washer bottle pump?

Dunno the proper name....
Anyhow... I'm not getting water to the bonnet jet thingy's....
I've disconnected the pipes at the bottom of the washer bottle & activated it. The motor sounds as if it's working fine but all there is, is a trickle of water. Poked in the holes to no effect.
Is there anything else i can try before asking a garage to look at it?
It's not the easiest thing to get at....

Hi Bill,
probably gunged up with washing up liquid or rubbish.
Its just a push fit into the bottle with a rubber grommet, pull it out and see if you can clean it out and empty the bottle.
I have a spare one if you need it.

As Stuart says,pull the pump unit out. The rubber grommet which holds it in is also a filter which gets gunged up. Clean that off and it will probably solve the issue.

New rubber grommets are 66p + VAT - I bought one a couple of weeks ago.
