Update
All sorted today, washer pump replaced, recall (that I wasn't aware of) sorted and a decent report of what's wrong that could or should be rectified by my independent, not a bad result at all.
Oh, and a tin of sweets

I notice from the handbook that my 2000FL has headlamp washers as an option .... I have the hatches in the bumper , but do I have the washers ? can't say I am bothered but am curious ...with my life style going out in the rain in the south of france isn't really on the agenda !
I read they only work with the headlights on ...is that correct ? and how can I check if they are there ? is it safe to lever the hatches up ?

Yes, they pop up when in use. I think just due to the pressure, so purely mechanical (no servos).
Just turn the lights on and operate the washers for an extended period and you'll see spray all over the headlights, or ask someone to stand outside (well away) and observe. If driving it's pretty obvious as the lights change and you get spray coming up all over the bonnet. I have seen references to at least two different modes of instigation: 1. Every third (or so) operation of the windscreen washers 2. Only with an extended wash, about a second or more Either way you need the lights on, headlights not just sidelights IIRC.

Yep, headlights on and pull the washer switch for over 1 second. You get a sequential spray to keep the pressure in the system, so one washer will operate ahead of the other
