Argh, bloody thing has stopped working again, been none fuctioning for the past two days now and ive attemped like mad with the stalk to get it going.
There aint any water in the boot anyway, that was definetly fixed when I got the car, no water loss anywhere else in the car and I can here the motor noise as well.

Its one of two problems.

problem a) Rear Wiper works but water will not come out of spray. Known problem - pipe has come loose.

problem b) Rear wiper does not work at all. Known problem - Duff connections or motor bust

Both probs can be fixed easily, see http://www.bravo-guide.co.uk/fix-a-bravo.htm#wiper for info :D

Isnt the first one, got that pipe fixed when I got the car and the 2nd one, the wipers working fine, just getting no spray at the moment. Ive had it happen before it would be intermittently working and failing to spray

Any filters to check?

Whatever you do, if the water isn't being used up, don't use the pump continuosly, if no water is going through for whatever reason, it will damage the pump (which relies on the water for lubrication and also cooling.)

dont think there is any filters, at least none that I know of. Im off out to double check the car in a moment anyway, for water level and to double check it aint leeking in the boot, im pretty sure it isnt but I have to be sure

Ok, took the car on the round trip to manchester and back and noticed that the rear wiper motor started ticking away at around the 4 hour mark on both the going and coming back parts of the trip, now besides it being odd that its near identical timing of the ticking, I found that the spray would become iratic during this time of ticking motor, where it would stop start stop start (the spray, not the wiper) when being sprayed. So could my problem then be down to a dying wiper motor then (and the car aint even 3 years old yet!)
although after checking the bravo guide i'll give the contacts a clean to be on the safe side.

I had this problem once - it was due to a clogged nozzle.

Fix It Again Tony!
Would swap for X19, Montecarlo Spider or GT.i.e in average/poor condition! Scottish based would be nice.
 
just clogged on the outside or something stuck on the inside of it?
