To the brim mate

Then there are others that will probably be able to help you more, the pipe may be disconnected meaning the water isn't going to your rear wiper, or is the whole lot not working?

a couple members on here found that there rear tube that carrys the water broke, check for damp patches...........

There are a couple of tiny little problems with her though. See if anyone has had/got any similar:
1- Drivers side window rises very slowly and feels as if it is rubbing on the seals?
and..........
2- Rear water jet doesn't seem to work?

1 - Most likely a clip has broken that is connected to the clips that hold the window to the clamps on the regulator. You can check this by removing the door card and taking a closer look.

The window is struggling to close, as its going up at an angle, or only being pushed up on one side. You can fix the clip with a cable tie or two, its what I did as a temp fix, best solution is a new window regulator.

Problem is the clips on the clamps are plastic, hence they break easily, design fault

search for posts by me for more info on this.

2 - Again, most likely the water pipe has come off its place or is blocked. Try a pin in the water jet hole to clear any blockage.

Then need to remove internal trim on inside of boot door (two screws in each handle, then clipped all the way around) and check the pipe. If disconnected, pop it back on its place and perhaps secure with some tape to stop it popping off so easily in future

Again search for many posts for more info on this by me and others

Hope this helps!

Cheers for all the advice guys
