   I'm guessing they are blocked as when I try the washers I can hear the pump whirring away loudly but the actual washers just bubble and froth a bit.
   
   How would I go about unblocking them?

   First try a pin on the jets,
   Then try an airline on the pipes.

   Cheers. If I'm honest I used Fairy Liquid instead of washer fluid and think I made the mixture too thick

   Fairy Liquid - mild, green great for dishes - shite for cars paintwork!
