Topped up with fluids earlier, went to use them as the windscreen was dirty, wipers came on front and back but there was no whining noise and no fluids being sprayed. Got the MOT next and thats a fail, can anyone shed any light on the shituation?

fuse went on my astra last week, put a new fuse in on sat and has been fine since.

i'd keep a few spare ones in the car though, we seem to get alot of astra H's in at work with washers not working ad 9 times out of ten is the fuse, as i say im pretty sure its fuse 7 under the bonnet, let us know how you get on mate

yeah you should be able to mate, or pop into a garage and ask them nicely for a 10 amp fuse, or halfords etc will sell them

If its the micro blade fuses I found petrol stations didnt have them. Or for the time being if you need them and cant get a fuse use a fuse from something else like interior light
