^^^^

yeah i'd say thats prob the case, and if that not the prob then it could be the switch on the stalk maybe, that the only other thing not associated with the rear. but i'd say most def a blockage.

Went into the car this morning. If I leave the handle pressed in, after about 3 minutes the water sprays out as normal.

i'd say there is def some sort of blockage somewhere then reducing the pressue or as i said b4 also maybe the pipe getting trapped in the bonnet hinge this is not always possible to see when the bonnet is open, as obviously the hinge moves when bonnet is shut, so u could try repositioning the pipe a little to see if it works better, oh and dont leave the washer pressed for prolonged times like that if nothing coming out you will burn out the pump!

Right, both of them arent working now! And yes there's water in!

Definetly a blockage or a trapped tube or something then yes?

This will be covered in warranty, cos I'll take it back to them should this be the case.
