I think LR upped the fuse to stop them blowing. Is yours 10A ?
I think it must be frozen if the headlight one isn't working. (they only do a short burst though)

Well if the fuse is blowing there is a good chance you need a new pump.
Could be a chaffed wire.

Check the wiring for the screen washers under the bonnet sound proofing for mouse damage, they love to make a nest there in winter  It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Aren't there two pumps one for the screen and a HP washer for the lights?- the headlamp washer only works every 3rd or 4th press. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Does the rear washer work?
Also as the headlights only get done every 5th wash (and then after at least 10 minutes) but the first wash with headlights on brings on headlight washers. It might be worth trying them the next time you start the D3.

No the rear stopped with the front then the headlight stopped shortly after. I will take the wheel arch cover off tomorrow and see if I can see anything obvious wondering if something has blocked both pumps. Stephen
