The washer jet incorporates a small non-return valve in the body behind the jets.

They are heated. See if you are getting water to the inlet and if so then the jet is still clearly blocked.

Thanks fellas, I will remove the jet tomorrow in daylight and check out the plunger etc and let you know the outcome.

Thats interesting as my old man said that when they were using range rovers and discoveries during Rover/BMW testing in cold climates they would routinely remove the non return valves as it was the weak point with regards freezing and damaging the plunger/membrane. Trouble is when you do it at the rear it takes a while to come through by which time your wiper has been rubbing grit and mud onto your window but I dont imagine this is much of an issue at the front especially if the other one is fine. Out of interest do you see a difference in the speed the water appears between the two jets?

Surprisingly the jet works as before, although as you say you would expect the water to drain back, to date mine hasn't.
