Front windsreen washer not working

2000 Nissan Micra 1.3 Inspiration
Car: Nissan Micra
Year: 2000
Variant: 1.3 Inspiration
Categories: Steering, Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres
My front windscreen washers have stopped working. When i operate the control the pump/motor operates but nothing comes out of the left hand nozzle and only a dribble from the right hand one. The rear washer works fine and the reservoir is full. I have tried cleaning the nozzles to no effect. Cannot see anything wrong with the visible piping under the bonnet.

Can anyone help me please?

Can you disconnect the pipework from the Nozzles and then run the motor to see if it is pushing water out where you have it disconnected. If it is then you need to blow out the Nozzles as they are presumably blocked. If it is not pushing out water at this point can you disconnect the pipework closed to the washer bottle and again see if it is pushing water out at that point. If it is not then you need to perhaps remove the washer bottle and flush it out as there may be sediment obstructing the intake for the pump. Then try it again as above.
