04 plate Vauxhall vectra rear screen wash?

Hardly any water comes out Front windscreen washers work well.But rear washers are very poor Is there a separate filter some where for the rear washer I can hear the pump working but no pressure in the line.

the filter at the bottom of the washer pump will be blocked.pull out the pump then the rubber filter and wash it.it will work!

The inner plastic pipe running through the black flexi pipe on the top edge of the boot lid may have come off the jet/nozzle.

Clean nozzle with a pin, filter possibly under the jet head find pipe pull off check under the jet piece for gunge poke out with stiff piece of wire reassemble.
(lack of pressure,I remember years ago car makers used to put a one way valve in the line to prevent water running back this made the washer work straight away.if none now fitted water has to dragged all the way from the bottle to the jet(maybe 12 -18ft) away before it can pressure the line when the pump STOPS water drains back.
