Pipe snapped some where, you need to trace it back from wiper, probably where it exits the rear door and enters the car boby, check the rubber boot for wetness, could also be that your jets are rusted up.

check the pump works too.

check you have water in the tank.

Failing that just wipe the rear window with a wet rag, as the rewar wiper is pants anyway.

I am not sure I even know how to use mine...it just cleans itself when I put it in reverse in the rain with the wipers on

There's a one way valve behind the spare wheel carrier that gets blocked up, it's easy to replace just pull off the tubing and push the new one in just make sure its the right way round I got one from a local motor factors for about a £1.

Again to all that have added to this post. Thank you. It is the little things. I needed a come down job after scaring myself silly with the flywheel job. I will try all these. I think I may be able to fix it failing that. Reverse and the rag sound like good options.
