Mine doesn't so much squirt as dribble, am I missing a little metal ball out of the nozzle or do yours look like this?

| That's normal for the washer jet......nothing missing. Most likely a blocked hose or crap in the bottle restricting flow. |

I try to be sensible sometimes but it's few and far between Paul!
With regards to said washer nozzle, Is it just me or is it damn near impossible to get it squirting in the right place. I seem to be able to get it squirting in the top left of the screen, or with a minute tweek, off the back of the car  |

Tank has been cleaned (it was growing some really nasty goop) and I seem to get a good volume coming out but as a dribble not a jet.
However, thanks for letting me know I'm not missing anything, that gives me the confidence to know that it should work, I'll blow it though with the airline.

This sounds very familiar. Nozzle that spits rather than squirts and a nightmare to direct.

I also tried for about half an hour or so. That was about two years ago.

It's even harder with a sportwagon!  Tailgate is much more vertical.

Yeah I don't find the rear hatch window gets very dirty but as you say the sw is surely a different story. Is the nozzle any better on an estate?

No sir it isn't, most probably beyond Alfa's budget back then to design 2 rear washer jets!
