Default Washer Jets Again

Hi,

One of my washer jets is working fine, the other is dribbling. Anyone else had this? I've poked the nozzles with a needle and that hasn't sorted it, should I just buy a new jet?

I think that's typical of most Liverpudlians regardless of age.

Get a compressor air line down it to blow it out. 99.9% of the time clears it out

Hard water area possibly? Quite a common occurrence here in shropshire as most of our water comes out of bore holes laden in mineral water.

Bit weird for it to only happen on one side though. I think I'll try and replace the offending jet and go from there I guess.

Great so I might need to replace that too.
