I can hear the motor whirring, but alas, no squirt.
Any pointers ?

Or check the pipe that goes to the spray head inside the rear wiper arm. This is a common fault I believe

Mines's the same. I await your diagnosis with intertest. I've put off dealing with it for weeks and I'm regretting it now!

OK, Ive sorted it.
Pressed the switch, motor whirring, no water.
Looked at the jet and noticed a minute dribble of water so its getting there.
Poked pin in the jet to clear it and tried again.
Now the comedy starts.....
Wearing a white shirt, standing on Waitrose petrol forecourt surrounded by people filling up.
Tried the switch a further 3 times still no joy.
Walked to the rear wiper arm, lifted it up and pulled the pipe off.
Soaked in water/algae/nutse from where the pipe was pressurized up.
