My rear washer jet is blocked somehow - so badly that the washer fluid was escaping under pressure from the wiper motor housing and through the tailgate!
Tried clearing with a pin and compressed air but no joy. I've now removed the rear wiper assembly and opened it up; wiper fluid inside but no major damage. Still can't seem to clear the jet, though - any suggestions? Thinking of soaking it in something, maybe an acid (vinegar/citric) to dissolve limescale. Can't see down the tube though so not really sure what's in there.
If I can't clear it I'll have to replace the whole motor assembly, which seems a shame as otherwise it's in good nick.
