It’s not an electrical fault if the passenger side is working ok, so probably just a blocked drivers side jet that can be fixed by poking in a needle, but also could be the water tube getting kinked as the bonnet closes ?

So far --- disconnected washer fluid tube from the washer jet and fluid is reaching, disconnected wires from the jet in case there was some sort of malfunction in its operation.

The washer jet wires are for heating elements, nothing else, so it is probably the non return valve that is stuck, it is not a huge job to fit a new jet / nozzle. |

Good information , thanks ,I will take the nozzle off and try further to clear it with a garage airline but before I do I'll get a replacement in case of damage getting it out given how brittle plastic can get after suffering heat for 12 years, already accidentally snapped two plastic cable ties during my efforts today.

I bought a big syringe off eBay that I fill with hot water to force through the pipes and jets until they are clear, but it is usually the back one on mine. I had to change the non return valve a few years back because it wouldn’t clear.

You need a new nozzle assembly.

NR valves are to stop fluid in the hoses draining back so you don't get a delay in fluid spray on the screen and have the wipers sweeping on a dry screen causing wear to the blades and possible scratching of the screen. NR valves are cheap to buy - you don't have to get the JLR part 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |
