Not quite sure what you're after, you say the water comes out?
The rear washer pump is supplied from & is mounted on the front washer bottle, it is the higher of the two, so will run out first.
The rear wiper motor sometimes gives problems due to the wiring between the door & the body - factsheet in the members area here - http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/member ... ardoor.pdf

Welcome fredkeegan.

Are you saying the motor is pumping OK and fuse is OK? Has a pipe either going to or coming from the pump become detached, as there have been a few incidences of this reported on here. Have a search for 'rear' and 'washer'.

So it's the wiper motor, check the wiring between the tailgate & the body, the factsheet should help.
