    Well Uwe, after months of head scratching i've found that the window washer circuit uses the 'relay' & 'diode' situated above the radiator area. The relay is the round black one on the left (from the drivers viewpoint) & the diode is next to it. By messing around with a 'MULTIMETER' (I am an electrical idiot) and two long cables from the Positive & negative terminals on the battery I found that my 'earth' connection to the relay was no good (the earth circuit goes via the switch on the control stem to the relay)
    A new cable from the switch spliced into the green/black wire before it divides into two at the moulded connector (front left corner of the engine compartment) although may not be a recommended remedy - but my windscreen washer is now working!
    Hope this can be some help - any questions just ask. Andy
