One day the rear wipe works another it won't ....

Roll on better weather for a proper investigation. I've noticed if the tailgate is shut hard the rear wiper will work.

Update :

I've removed the motor today and noticed the white plastic part the power cable plugs into has movement so I've wrapped it with black electrical tape powered the motor up and its working and has been since.
Also taped around the wiper spindle to tighten the spindle as it slides back in and that stops any possible water getting in.

I also noticed too the wires that connected to the rear demister was at one point earthing , that is also cured with The same black tape , all good now.

The picasso will be going to a recycling facility in a few days

The front suspension has failed big time the whole gearbox plus engine weight is pushing down on the front of the poor car its no longer safe to drive the works to put the car back on the road were out weighed by just getting another old runner so thats what i did, The scrap value was pretty good so ive only lost £49 on what i brought it for.
It was a lovely car never let me down i will post a short tribute to the car soon with photos.
