Windscreen washer

I'm getting no water through the washer pipes to windscreen. I've taken off the pipe from under the bonnet to rule out the jets on bonnet. I can hear the motor working. Does this mean I've got to strip the pipes out and take out bottle!!

Probably blocked, take off d/side wheel, pull off liner & you'll see the filter, pull it off & give it a good clean under a tap.

Just had to replace the pump on mine 'cos you could hear it running but no pressure. Guess the vanes had worn down or something. System wasn't blocked, just pump worn out.
