Only one jet works
It has intensive wash too
Water is coming out of what looks like a non return valve via a small hole in side of valve
Jet nozzle is not blocked as I've taken it off ,no water is coming out of tube on the open end of valve so I'm assuming valve is blocked and the hole is a "blow off hole "?
Assume a new one is only way ?
Can I take the valve out and connect a piece of pipe so it can pass mot tmrw or will that not work??

Thx in advance

A common fault. New valve needed.
Bypassing the valve will be good enough for a MOT pass, but there will be a delay before the washers operate, since water in the pipes will drain back into the reservoir.
