A couple of weeks ago I went to use the sprayer and only the wipers moved. No spray.
After reading the forums I set about this morning pulling out the reservoir and replacing the motor.
The old motor was rusted up big time. New one on Amazon was £11.
Directions to replace as follows
Passenger side front wheel off (UK car)
Undo a few clips and peel back the plastic wheel arch liner. I found I didn't need to take it fully out.
Undo the hose from the top where it feeds from the reservoir into the section under the hood.
Pull the hose downwards and into a coke bottle. Let all the water drain away. Mine was full of crap so I thought maybe the pump or hoses were blocked. Not the case though. A couple of times I even had to blow up the hose to clear blockages.
Once empty disconnect the reservoir filler neck from under the hood. Simple lift up clip mechanism and it pulls out to the left.
Undo the single bolt holding the reservoir to the underside of the arch. It's located at the top where the hose was connected.
Pull the reservoir out towards the brake disk. It's lodged in using two thick rubber bungs.
Disconnect the cables for the pump and the fluid level indicator.
Prise the pump upwards to lift it away from the reservoir.
Insert new one.
Put it all back together.
Hope this helps others in future.
