   Hey SaxP.
   I've recently bought myself a VTR, and upon driving home have noticed that the horn and the washer jets don't work.
   I've checked that there's water/washer liquid in the washer tank/bottle, and there is.
   But there is no sound at all from a motor, it's just the wipers that come on, nothing else, no motor sounds, and ofc no water.
   If anyone has any information that could help I would be extremely grateful.
   Thank you,
   Nathan.

   Probably a fuse mate, check all the fuses in the passenger side dash, if you've got a Haynes manual you can see which fuse controls what

   As said Check fuses, check the bottom of the washer bottle, check the pump has wiring going to it and the connector has not been removed. Same with the horn make sure the wiring is there. If the fuses are ok and wirings in place, then most likly they need replacing. There a cheap easy fix

   Any other ideas guys?
   Thanks,

   I would say theres a problem with the stalk maybe buddy....
   With the horn, just buy a new one from any car shop.
   They are plug and play...
   The washer pump is the same (if its not working) but get one from another saxo mate.

   Ok cheers mate, will get new parts and will see how it goes!
   Btw, do you know if the MK1 washer pump will work in the MK2 VTR?
   And are other models of the Saxo compatible? Or will I need an exact MK2 VTR pump?
   Cheers for all the help, is much appreciated.
