Windscreen washer jets stopped working
My windscreen washer jets have stopped working but the headlight ones still work.
Water level topped up to the top... where should I start looking for answers first?

Cant hear the motor so was hoping it would be a different fuse 
Where is the motor on these, guess it could be a connection, more likely a broken motor I guess.

You haven't had the bonnet lifted extra high recently have you? Kiwi demonstrated how to do it at JAE, and as a by-product, it disconnected the rubber washer jet hose.

Probably just the washer pump. They are usually sock pumps, made by Bosch etc (many different car makes use similar pumps)... try a scrap yard for an S2k one, although my advice would be to remove the pump. I'm not familiar with the s2k pump, but usually is push-fitted into the side of the washer bottle. Remove it & go to halfords, they sell stock pumps - try to find a suitable one. Or, check at Honda.
On past cars , I found that dealer prices were around

Is the washer bottle behind the driver side front wheel?
Is it just a case of jack up, wheel off, liner off and a couple of bolts and bottle out??

Hi M8, I had the opposite problem--my headlamp washers stopped working but the windscreen washers were fine.
The washer bottle is located under the drivers front wheel arch lining, just undo a few clips to get at it. I managed to do it without taking the wheel off-just put it on full lock.
The lower small pump does the headlamp washers & the pump you want is nearer the top of the bottle.
Thats how it is on mine which is a 52 plate, not sure how much a new pump is but i did see a complete washer bottle for sale on Ebay--its sometimes cheaper to buy the lot 2nd hand but make sure its not too old or it might not last.
Good luck.
