Default Windscreen & headlight washer jets

Evening

So, just recently the passenger side windscreen jet and both headlight wiper washer jets don’t have any water coming out of them (MY early 2000 v40)
However, the drivers washer jet does work!?
The rear one has never worked.
I seem to recall there is 2 motors on the washer bottle and only accessible with bumper removed. But before I do this.
I’ve tried cleaning the nozzles and still the same.
Does this mean a new motor for the jets?
Does anyone have any hints or tips?
If it is a motor on the washer bottle any recommendations on where to get them?

Thanks

One pump will feed the rear screen while the other is for the front. One front jet working suggests pump is fine surely? Could be a blockage in pipework or if you can follow the pipework there will be either a "T" piece or "Y" piece where the pipework splits to feed the two windscreen jets[same I'd think goes for headlamps]has the pipework come off at these?Are the pipes split/kinked/holed? Just a few things to check before splashing the cash on new pumps.Two wires directly from battery terminals to pump terminals would prove if pumps are working or not.

Yes, good shout. I may need to get someone to sit it the car and pull the washer stalk as I check the Y pieces and connections.

Will report back

The T pieces in the pipework have non return valves and filters in them. Most probably blocked. New ones are as cheap as chips on ebay, so change those first.

Default Love an update

Thanks for the help and I always love an update to an issue.
Nothing worse then trawling for answers to a fix, then to find the thread had ended with no update!

So, tried all the pipes and it was the nozzle itself that’s clogged as swapped with the working drivers side!
No soaking away
