Hello, my rear wiper arm broke at the weekend, it's currently just staying on with the washer pipe. Replacements are ordered, they appear to come with a new washer pipe, but my query is said pipe - do I need to strip the read door lining to find the joiner, I can't see one on the exterior
Thanks in advance
Richard

Yes, you have to remove the door card and find the non return valve which is connected to the arm's pipe

OK, thanks. Makes a fairly easy job a tad harder!!

So, true you have found one of the 70 Land Rover “improvements” the D2 has over the D1

Just had a quick look at mine and although I couldn't see the whole thing without removing the spare wheel I'd a thought you might be able to transfer the old washer pipe onto the new washer arm.
Failing that, you might be able to cut the pipe at the base and join it to the new pipe using the connectore you can get from Halfrauds or if not from fish aquarium sellers. I did that under the bonnet for my front washers and they work fine and don't leak.

I used a pair of side cutters to do a permanent repair to mine that won't need any future maintenance.................... It has not been missed!
