I did try it after a 30 min drive was the same thing the pump was frozen tho but after 30 min drive it worked but just had the problem no matter which way i pressed the stalk the water came from front 

If the pump was frozen you are not using a strong enough screenwash mix. The freezing might have damaged the direction valve on the pump.

Is that a new pump that i have to get or can i repair it and yes i have put in stronger mix now but might be to late

I sorted my problem it was less mix in the washer bottle causing things to freeze up and something was stuck in the rear washer jet nozzle now its way better the water gets right to the top and i checked all the connections they was fine but the one inside and near the rear wiper i put shrink tube on so they don't come off the only ones that can come off are the ones that are in the engine bay and under washer bottle but they are easliy accessible so don't need to worry about ripping the plastics off Thanks for your advice
