Does the rear washer have a separate tank? If so where?
Otherwise, what? a Blocked pipe? Where does that run?
Help. My back window is filthy.

only one bottle but the back will stop working before the front as the pick up is higher in the bottle :D

Same tank as front :D

Question is, does it have a separate pump for the back?

The bottle and pumps are shown here http://www.lushprojects.com/bongopartsm ... mgno=.html
Parts 76-672 two of them plus the piping round the van.

Check the level in the bottle under the bonnet, check the pump is pumping & then see if it's become disconnected at the interface between tailgate & body.

You may just need to wait a little longer for the water to bleed through to the rear jet & push the air out if it hasn't been used in a while??
