Can you hear the pump working when you operate It?
Have you checked the rear washer jet isn't blocked?

Just been in the garage and disconnected the pipe going into the boot and had fluid coming out so I've got fluid going into the boot, I put a mini compresser on the other end of the pipe to try and blow the blockage through , but I still can't get any fluid out of the jet?

Take the jet out pop it into a boiling pot of water with some cilit bang and let it soak works a treat.

How do I get the wiper off to access the jet? Is it all just bolted on?

I'm such an idiot, just pulled the black cover off the wiper arm and pulled the jet out and got it soaking now in boiling water and vinegar. Tried the washer and water shot out so definitely a blocked jet :D

I just used the normal one or anything that gets rid of lime scale. Also poke a pin in the end.
