You can hear the pump running and I have tried blowing back through the line and yep it has plenty of water in the tank.I would be grateful to hear your comments. Cheers

Water jets themselves may be blocked. Poke a pin in the jet and see if that fixes it.

see if water comes out the hoses if you disconect them from the jets.

No.nothing coming out of the hose. I tried the pin trick first because that usually does the trick.

Is the reservoir level dropping as the pump operates !
Have you looked underneath the vehicle to see if there is a puddle !

Not sure what sort of pump it is but maybe the impellor has come off! Go right back to the res and take the pipe off there to see if its woking. Good luck

No puddle. I wonder if the pump motor is working but not the pump.I thought this might have been one of those common faults with VS's and there would have been an easy answer. Thanks for your input though.

I found the same with my VS ute & found one way valves in the line (just before the hoses go through the bonnet ribs) & the previous owner had them back to front. so if yours has them & are the wrong way around too you probably can blow back down but it wont pump water up

Thanks for that.The thing is in a tight space.Does it come out easy or do I do this in place. I am a chippy and there comes a time I am better off doing my thing and using the money to pay someone who knows all about it. But I get a few kudos with the missus if I fix it myself.I appreciate your help.
