Ever since i bought my Bravo the rear wiper hadn't worked. And as i had sum spare time on friday, i decided to have a look at it. so i took off the pannel in the boot and noticed that the washer tube had come out, so i put it back in. but wen i tried to work the washer, it still doesnt worker. the rear wiper come on tho and the front washers come on. help please?
 
a very very very common problem that is easily fixed. you can usually repair the wiper by stripping the motor down and greasing it, but it may need replacing (scrapyard wiper motor is cheap).

if the rear washer isnt working and you have reconnected the pipe (use glue!) the problem is usualy a blocked non-return valve. the valve is in the engine bay, behind the right hand suspension turret (when looking in bay). you need to remove the rubber sealing strip from the top of the bulkhead/firewall to see the pipe, it has a black plastic part on it, that is the non-return valve. replace it.
