Wiper Fluid - nothing coming out

I saw that there was a small thread a year ago (assuming it was in the UK/EU) that a couple of people had this issue. Any of you also not having wiper fluid spray on your windshield when you pull down on the lever?

might not be , and could be a lotus thing, but if you dont use it as a daily, mould can start to form in the tank which then blocks the tubes. you can normally tell as it starts to spray but they very quickly stops i get it a lot in my fiesta ST as now i have a gr86
 
I’ve had this in my Elise when not used for a bit. The washer fluid crystallises in the jets. Get a compressed air gun and put it onto the jet and blow. You should hear the tank bubble when you’ve cleared the blockage.
Although, being a Lotus, this could be one of many reasons, but it’s free to try if you have a mate with a compressor!
