Faulty rear wiper

[Daron 1.6 HLX]

Hey,
Just wondering whether anyone else has experienced problems with they're rear wiper?

I had no water spray coming up 4 some time- which I rectified using the instructions on this site (Very clear btw). Now thats working the actual wiper keeps getting stuck half way round its cycle! I have to physically help it back to its start position!

The motor seems to be making a an erratic clicking sound now.

Is this a common fault?- easy to fix?
i'm wondering whether to pop to a scrappy to pick up a new motor unit- unless anyone can suggest otherwise???
Thanks
Daz

It is a common fault, the clicking is indicating that the motor is on it's last legs!

Easy to replace, you've gone halfway to doing this when you rectified the rear spray.

Some of us have decided not to get a replacement wiper motor and just de-wiper the back and block up the hole!

Thanks,

Out of interest- if I was to pick up a motor from a scrap yard to replace my busted one- how much would you expect to pay without being ripped off?!
just a rough guide- I have no idea!!

From a scrapper? £10 max

Daz,

if the scrapyard is no help try eBay. There's usually a few motors to choose from.
Good ones tend to be about £30 plus P&P. If you're lucky you could pay much less but like everything else it depends on supply & demand.

further to the initial question.. my rear wiper doesnt work at all. Will it be the motor? No water sprays out (to be honest i didnt know it was meant to).. ive looked for a motor on ebay. Will i need the mk2 for a 1999 v reg?
