Blocked jet? No water in the bottle under the bonnet?

Do the front ones work?

Garage airline but pop the cover off inside the tailgate and blow it through that way.

Yes easy, open the tailgate and remove the inner cover, clips on and one small screw you then see the motor and washer piping, remove and blow through.
