Default E39 screen washer

If I pull the stick to wash the windscreen I get a quick dribble of water,
then nothing - I can hear the washer motor though (the intensive washer
works fine).

Does anyone know what to check (yes - it's full of water!)

Possibly a pipe come off one of the jets - happened to me a few months ago -
check under the soundproofing.

The intensive wash uses a different motor and reservoir, but shares the
pipework and jets.
