Rear Wash wipe

A quick question for you guys who have a FFRR.

When you push the rear washer stalk back to wash the rear screen, does water come out straight away or do you have to wait a few wipes before you see water come out?

Mine was dreadful and would be anywhere from 10 to 13 wipes before any water came out, it's been looked at by the dealer and it now seems to be about 2-5 wipes. Still not brilliant but better than it was I suppose. Discovery 4 HSE

Mine takes a while to come through as well, I always put it down to the fact I hadn't used it for a while and the pump had to pump water the whole way through from the engine bay??

Having tested it a lot over the past few days it's much better and I reckon I can live with it now. At least the water sprays better across the screen. Discovery 4 HSE

RRUK mine also takes about 3 to 4 wipes before the water comes out which is a real pain if it is really dirty (mine never is though) I also agree the way the water sprays over the rear window is very affective. Thumbs Up

I don't know why but I much prefer the way the rear wiper is hidden in the top of the screen on the FFRR than the position on the RRS. Possibly because the swept area on the FF is much more sensible with the widest area being at the top of the screen. Have they cured the old problem that I always whinged to LR guys on show stands about with the pathetic interval on the rear wiper - in that respect the RRS is MUCH better than my old FFRR was.

Tim, I'm not sure if this was altered in the time between yours and mine however, on mine, you flick the stalk back for the rear wiper and then immediately pull it forwards again....now, wait for as long as you want the interval to be then push the stalk back once more. That sets the interval.

Mine works a treat so you can adjust it for the different weather and road conditions. It's a shame I've had to use the rear wash/wipe so much...even now it's nearly JULY for heavens sakes and we're still getting 5 day rain forecasts.....

I read somewhere earlier (on another board) that if you push and hold the rear wash wipe stalk, for the number of seconds you want between wipes then pull it back to set.

so basically you can set the frequency of wipes! Not tried it yet though! 2005 Full Fat Java Black 4.4 V8 Vogue Range Rover

Hi all, im totally new here but have just picked up a 2002 TD6. Great car but have noticed that the rear wash wipe jet is not working....also the front headlight jet is not working either....the main jet works just fine for the windscreed and is very powerful...no sound at all....when i try to do the rear jet it makes a small motor sound which isnt constant and nothing comes out....im assuming this would jet water for the headlights too but nothing comes out....what do you reckons wrong?

Could be anything from a blockage through to the pump or the actuator. If you've just picked it up, I'd take it back to where you got it and get them to fix it (presuming it came from a dealer of course). Halfway Down The Stairs,

thanks for replying. What confuses me is that for the front washers they spray fine and there is no sound but when i try the rear (which arent working) there is a motor sound....maybe its a blockage and its sucking at water that isnt there? ill get it looked at.
