I am so glad that I became a member of this site some time ago. My wife went to Northern Ireland for a week and I had to collect her from London this morning. I went to use the front wipers and washer to clear my windscreen and like so many, it was dead. Once home, I checked the fuses and all seemed well. My first thoughts were "I wonder if anyone else has had this problem" and I came on to here. Just checked fuse 33 and yes, it has blown. Going to Halfords shortly to buy more. Many thanks for the assitance. Jeff.
