How do you know that it needs replacing, if you haven't taken it out yet ?
Is it just not working ? In which case suspect the power feed to it via the wiring loom where it goes from chassis to rear door in the corrugated rubber tube top right of the door.

It definitely needs replacing as the van had a service with Ian Taylor on Monday & I asked for the back wiper to be checked. Wiring is apparently fine & the problem is the motor but Ian Taylor didn't have one in stock so I thought I'd try to replace it myself.

Pleased to say I've tackled this.

Found 5 wires broken between the door frame and tailgate, then spotted 2 more about to go as I assembled things.

Bit fiddly but no big deal. 8)
