rear wash wipe motor

[bullet]

having problems with my rear wash wiper on one of our minis,is this a common fault on an r53?fuses are fine and i hear a click when i try to operate the wiper,its a pity as they are needed regularly now with all the salt on the roads,having checked ebay the prices are all over the place for a motor,any helpful info appreciated,thanks:smilewinkgrin:

It may just need a new nozzle that's common thing only a few quid as well

thanks stoney,the wiper is actually hanging down past the glass onto the tailgate like its broken,bloody annoying at this time of year

Sounds like the splines may be done which is why the wiper is drooping. Sounds like new motor to me....

Sometimes the bolts on the motor assembly just work loose and that let's it sag in the manner you describe. Only takes a couple of mins to check.
