    Replace the fuse for the windscreen wash, they cost 20p but a garage would charge you £20.

    Tried to top up the water

    Added after 4 minutes:

    Also as it's a Vauxhall you might want to try the rear washer then try the front one.

    Every Astra I've owned (1 mk3 and 2 mk4s) when the bottle got a little low the front's wouldnt work until the rear one was used.

    Thisnk they should have put a non return vavle in the system.

    when you pop the bonnet, underneath the jets there will be a plastic tube the just clips off the jets. Squirt a load of MrMuscle drain cleaner down there. The other one is mug in the jets, a pin will sort that out.

    Think you'll need more than a pin to get a mug out of the jets

    Anti roll bar dust cover thingys have cracked x 2 and 2 sills need welding. Which is impressive as the car has a galvanised body.
