Give the components a good soaking in vinegar - if there's any limescale blocking the system, that should dissolve it.
I've had it happen to me and the vinegar fixed the issue

I'm a big fan of Apple Cider Vinegar, have been taking it for a couple of years now and my dumps are Epic! Also cleaned a set of rusty Halfords Allen & Torqs sockets with it !
Cheers Max

Hi Max an update, disconnected this and that and hardwired the front washer pump and pumped some ACV around the system to clean/check the valves etc, then took off P side nozzle, soaked that and raised the jets a bit. put all back together and all fine now, even the rear washer is better now!
Cheers for all the help!

Hey that's excellent!

I forgot to mention the electrical connections on my pump were really corroded. Cleaned them up with emery cloth and refitted the connection with a blob of that red coloured battery grease to prevent it hap[pening again.
