More on this. I opened up the back, got to the rear washer hose in the tool kit/jack panel on the DS and pulled out the non-return valve. The valve was gummy and I cleaned it but it still wasn't clear. I fished out what I thought was debris to find it was a soft plastic disc with perferations in it. Stuffed the disc back in and it worked. However, the washer still only dribbled.
I took everything apart again to trace the hose to the washer jets and the hose from the valve to the jets was clogged. I eventually was able to clear it but it appears there may be another non-return valve because the hose was open only in one direction.
I have to wait for my new non-return valve to see if the problem's been fixed. I don't see how there could be a problem with the last section of hose since this area has never been dismantled and is in original condition.
Turns out there are three one-way valves (part number 85348R): one in the DS dill; one behind the jack; and one behind the tail light.
