Can anyone please help.
As I was travelling home last week and pulling into the drive I noticed a burning smell coming from the drivers footwell. Couldnt initially find anything wrong but my wipers and screen wash no longer work, does anyone have any advice please?......

Your washer pump has probably burnt out and taken the fuse with it ?

Excellent

When you say "driver's footwell" - LHD or RHD?

If it's RHD, then the washer pump's under the passenger's footwell. I wonder if it's the switch that's toasted itself?

The pump's easy enough to get at - you need to look under the NSF, and drop the tank out.

It's LHD, will the tank still be under the passenger side? Im not fantastically mechanically minded so is it a straight fwd job?

It's always the LH corner - so driver's on a LHD.

Yep, fairly simple unless the tank fasteners are rusted in place.
