I believe it's the same pump mate. So if one works the other should. I'd guess it's a blockage. Unless you see it coming from somewhere else.
No wipers dnt come on when pull bk stalk now im thinkn faulty stalk?? If so airbag/steering wheel off to change stalk ??
Sounds like a faulty stalk to me. Seems The only thing that could cause it not to do both (wash and wipe). Especially if the washer works for the rear. I'm guessing the wipers work fine on their own when it's raining? I do believe you will need a whole clock spring and stalk unit. I also believe that it's an MOT failure if window washers don't work. :/
Might just be a connection issue however. As the stalk itself works for everything else.

Sounds like a failed stalk unit. I'd try being a bit 'firmer' with it and see if that works. Might be worth stripping down the switch unit before ordering a replacement as it might just need a clean up.
You will need to remove the steering wheel and airbag, and when you remove the steering wheel make sure you line up the steering so the wheels are straight and then secured the clock spring in the central location before stripping the switches down

When I removed steering wheel it couldn't be fitted any other way but one. It had a indent in the back of it to stop it being able to twist.Sounds like a failed stalk unit.

That not the reason why, steering needs to be central so you can secure the clock spring in the central location
Oh yeh lol. Ignore me.That not the reason why, steering needs to be central so you can secure the clock spring in the central location
is it possible to swap over wiring at pump so when I push back on stalk it activates front was instead of rear??
Well it would certainly get it through the MOT as long as the tester knew to push instead of pull.
:yeahthat: but your rear wiper will run and possibly scratch / damage the rear screen when dry.

Good to hear. Mines a little like that at times, but never fails to work, I just apply normal pressure and normally works after a few second delay

I'd say that is common problem on Bravo.
Maybe something like this http://www.wd40specialist.com/products/contact-cleaner/ could help.
