i wanted to fix my winderscreen washer nozzle as the washers would only spray right on the bottom of the windscreen, it looks like it has a flat screw driver adjustment on the nozzle, i turned it and it turned for a bit but then the nozzle part broke, like when you strip a flat headed screw thats stuck. so now, my washers just spray upwards. a little help please?

You're not meant to turn it. Just direct it up or down!
Go to the dealer (or pm destrukshn) and get a price on the washer nozzle.

my nozzles seems to be stuck with something. On the left nozzle everytime i use it, it will only spray at the bottom. Then i let go of the stalk and pulled it again, it will be all good. how weird

Are you using some washer additive? Just add water to dilute it down. Dried washer additive can sometimes form gunk in the nozzle.

Had a Euro in the workshop getting RWC, the nozzle couldn't spray water, removed everything to find that the tube was stuck with over 2 inches of crap.... Must have used Rain Water!

What's wrong with rain water (unless you live under an airport)?

I used to get a lot of build up in the windscreen washer nozzle my old 91 accord that it wouldnt spray at all. when i went to get the car serviced I told them about the problem. they took it apart and tried to blow into it and suck it out with their mouth! they didnt know how to fix it. i told them to leave it when i got home, i got some fishing line and threaded it through the nozzle to clear the dirt. works like new after that

nah no additive added... i have no idea why this is happening as it only happens after an extended period of time not using the nozzles... weird.

Lots of dissolved minerals in it if you live in the city. City air has lots of pollutants like carbon, that slowly line the inside of your washer tubing. And then, there are mould spores and bacteria that thrive in the warm engine bay.

My take on rain water besides Aaron's explaination is rainwater collected from the roof to the rain water tank...

Yum, you get yummy nutrients from the rotting leaves trapped in the roof gutter too. Hehehhe.
