Well I noted the answer for shaving off a bit of the rubber inside the valve housing and as suspected the rubber had expanded and gone softer. Shaving approx 1mm off the expanded end did the trick. To test you can simply blow through one of the inlets and make sure it comes out of the associated outlet. Block the other two ports off with your fingers. Now the other side you will need to suck as its a shuttle valve and you need to draw it across its housing. You can do this test prior to dismantling it to ensure its not blocked by the rubber. Off course this is assuming that your pump is running and simply no water getting to either the front or rear washers. This saved the cost of a new pump and even a 2nd hand one would eventually suffer the same problem .

Over a period of months the flow from the washers on our 2003 307 gradually reduced until there was nothing although the bottle was full and the pump could be heard. After removing the right front wheel and the inner mudguard liner the bottle can be removed. The pump unclips from the bottle. The pump has two outlet ports. Clipped into the ports is a small cylinder with spouts for the front and rear washer hoses. The pump runs forwards or backwards for either the front or rear wash. Inside the small cylinder is a rubber cylinder in a plastic tube which is a shuttle valve to isolate the two circuits. Over time the rubber cylinder had expanded in length and blocked both circuits. I shaved 1 m.m. from each end and now it works like new. You need to be a bit handy and be careful not to break or bruise any plastic surfaces. A Haynes manual is some very basic help.
