Mk3 focus washer pump

Is not working... One minute it was and now it ain't!

Fuse and relay seem ok and the wipers move when the stalk is pulled or pushed but I can't hear the pump going. I'm guessing that it has just packed up, is blocked or else isn't getting power for some reason.

Unless anyone has heard of any other strange faults with mk3 washer pumps?

Having a quick look it looks like I might be able to replace it with just the driver side headlight out. Otherwise it looks like arch liner and/or front bumper off...

 

Thoughts?

    Before you go chucking parts at it you need to check if it’s getting power.

    ...yeeeeeeeeeesssss.

    (Goes and checks!)

    Yeah this happened actually while filling it up. The jets got weak so I thought it must be low (though actually thinking about it I didn't get a warning on the dash like usual). I topped it up, noting how little it seemed to accept but also that there was a tiny dribble left in the bottle. 

    Not wanting to put it back in the shed with naff all in, I tested the washers with the bonnet up thinking I could then pour the last bit in. A little bit came out of the jets and then no more.

    Yeah, when it stops raining I'm gonna have the plug off and see if there's power getting to it. I'm guessing it'll probably just need replacing, but wondered if there are any quirky issues anyone knew of which can cause this problem.
