My rear washer works, but only one jet and it takes ages for water to appear. Which then continues even after I release the lever.

I replaced the non return valve on mine with a cheap EBay item some time ago , so it was easy to extend the tube by simply removing the short tube into the wiper motor and using the valve as a back to back connector..

I have added a 90* back to back at the point it goes through the grommet since I took this photo to stop the tube getting kinked when the spoiler is tightened down.

The 90 elbow solved the pipe kinking problem and all eight jets fire water directly on to the glass at full force pressure much better than the original setup without the need to make any new hole.

Lovely mod - I have the same issue after rebuilding my rear washer motor and I'm not paying £180(c) for a secondhand unit to have the same issue....
