It didn't look like there was any need to change the Headlight Washer Jet squirters, even the caps fit correctly.

However, part of the process of removing the bumpers was to lift the squirter, then pull the cap off which involved extending the little spring loaded arm of the squirter fully.

Anyway, cut a long story short, when the BMWP bumper was on... I tested it - everything looks the same, travels smoothly etc - but the squirters dont pop up at all... when I tried it with the squirters held out - the left one does nothing, the right makes a few bubbles but nothing else...

Any ideas how the heck that could have happened???

Thanks

Just going back to basics, has the washer bottle level dropped. H/Light washers stop working before windscreen wash stops when level drops. Or I agree kinked or nipped pipe on fitting.
