The water ran out in my washer bottle and now I can't get the rear washer to pump water. I'm sure it's an air lock or something, anyone else had this?
 
Use a fine needle on the jet, it's quite possible you have dragged sediment from the dregs in the bottle. You might have to flush the pipes out fully though.
 
Well after much mauling about it turns out the pump had seized. Managed to get it out without having to remove the engine and sourced new on eBay. Fitted and working perfectly only to find the other one leaking. Apparently without water they seize quickly so I ***ume it wasn't me letting it run out so much as it just leaked away. So dismantled the car again and fitted a second new pump and all is well.
