Headlamp Washers not coming out!
 
Its almost like Badger Watch waiting for the washer to pop out its hole!

Anyway I thought I had a leak in the screen wash system but looking at it further the passenger side headlamp washer does not come out!

Due to that it just dribbles into the bumper hence the puddle I have on the floor.

Anyone had this before and can help?

I can confirm the right side works as it should, its looking like bumper off time to check the motor and the connections!

You have the opposite problem to me, mine pop out of the bumper but nothing comes out. Instead mine deposits the entire screenwash bottle contents onto the engine undertray and then the road.

Facelift are electric servo operated, not pressure (hydraulic).
Not sure about pre-facelift though, but they will be electric if your car washes each headlamp one after the other rather than at the same time.

Pre facelift are electric as well, they pop out one after the other.

:ROFL: sound like an old age issue. Thought i stumbled onto on-line version of the Oldie magazine.

Yep one at a time as said above.

Its either broken or not getting power, can you get to them through the fog light hole or is this a bumper off Saturday afternoon task?

Fuse #43 feeds the relay that operates both sides - I suppose it could be relay, wiring or washer module itself. All of them a pain in the ass to check, but I suppose you could start by unplugginging the faulty one and applying 12v directly, but may require bumper removal.

I'd check the hoses first. Mine had gone, and when the headlamps were on would then dump the reservoir contents.
