boaterboy Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 The windscreen wipers & washers and the rear screen wiper all work on my vehicle. The headlamp washers are disconnected pending the completion of some front end work. The rear screen washer has failed, however. Does anyone have any idea as to the reason why, please? In case it's the water supply tube what is the route of this through the vehicle, please? Any help will be gratefully appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Hi, I had the same problem. Remove the rear door card and you'll see the pipe going to the jet. You'll also see the non-return valve. Remove the pipe from the valve and check water is getting through from the resevoir. If it is (as mine was) then the valve needs changing. If water is not getting though try swoping the pipe over at the pump with the front washer. The pumps are behind the f/n/s/ whwwl arch. HTH, Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boaterboy Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Thank you, bear, for such a speedy & comprehensive reply. I'll certainly do as you say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boaterboy Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Bear, presumably the 'card' to which you refer is the vinyl covered door panel? One other question, before I damage the panel is it removed by means of a blade between it and the door surround, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Yes a large flat blade will help pop the fasteners out of the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Hi, Yes the card comes off first then the plastic moisture membrane. It might be worth getting the plastic clips too. I broke several but you might be ok if your careful. Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boaterboy Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Thanks for that, bear. In fact, I repaired the valve by separating the two parts of the body with a sharp knife and cleaning the diaphragm (I must get out more now the Summer's here!). But, I did break six of the plastic pins. Do you have any idea where they can be sourced, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
