Windshield washing fluid failure

Hi,

I am a new owner of a lovely Mini Cooper S R53 (2003). Besides my earlier post of setting a navigation language I have one more problem as well.

Both of the window washing fluid containers are full but there is no any fluid coming out from the nozzles when I pull the switch. I can hear the fluid pump/engine operating under the hood but no fluid in the windscreen.

Is this a common problem and should I just try to clean the nozzles with needle or use some solvent?

Thank you in advance! :)

The one on the left is for headlights, have you tried it with the headlights on to see if they work (I am guessing you have xenons if you have 2 washer bottles) the washer bottle has a filter in the bottom these get clogged up with slime & block the flow. First I would try pulling a pipe off before the jets to see if the fluid is coming through
