Galaxy Mk3 front washer pressure low - how to fix?

[Kester]

Hello All,
I have a '59 Galaxy Mk3 where the front washer jets - work fine BUT with really low pressure, so they only just about reach the front screen. I am not sure if there is a filter blocked or what really. Hoping for some guidance and tips please. Many thanks.

G'day!

Is the rear washer pressure ok? If so then I'd say it's unlikely (though not impossible) to be a motor fault as I beleive it's a shared motor for both front and rear washers. It could be something like blocked jets (sometimes if the car's been valeted or polished the polish can get into the jets and partially block them), a kinked or restricted pipe or a dodgy one way valve (if fitted, not sure on the Mk3 Gal). I think one of the easiest tests you can do if the jets themselves look clear would be to pull the washer pipes away from the front jets and operate the washers, see if the pressure is still low.
