My front windscreen washer has just stopped working, if I pull the stalk it does the usual 4-5 wiper turns just no screenwash or sound from the motor. the rear washer spins up ok.

I've looked in the 5 manual, haynes and I just cant find out which fuse it is for the front washers.

Or could it just be a knackered pump? any clues please peeps.

right fella, according my 5 handbook, there are two fuses for the wipers, front and rear. Number 11 which should be a 7.5amp and number 13 which should be a 15amp. 11 is listed as windscreen wiper 'park' and number 13 as just windscreen wiper.

Hope this helps. My money is on 13 being the front wipers

If the wipers work, but the washers don't then it's not a fuse - both are off the same supply. More than likely a dodgy connection or pump motor.

Try swapping the plugs round for the front and rear washer pump motors - if the front washer works when you press the rear washer switch, then you know it's not the pump, it's the wiring...
