Adam the washers are due to the pump having all the power of an asthmatic hamster. Some have changed for a ford focus pump others have a pump for each nozzle. The windows is due to the rubbers needing some lubrication

Ah, cheers matey! Good info there, looks like I'll be upgrading the pump in that case.

For the washers it may be worth fitting a one way valve between the pump and nozzles, it improved mine with a standard pump, but I eventually swapped the standard pump for a better one.

I'd make sure that the hoses are all clear before messing with pumps etc.
I still have the standard pump, anything more powerful would be too much.
