My Xant MK2 estate rear window washer switch in fact causes only the front washing seqence; not rear (any more). Initially both front and rear would be activated. It would seem that there is a switched tap somwhere downstream of the washer pump that is no longer working.
Anyone know where this item lives?

Don't thinks so Karel....Hi, the direction front/rear washer is distinguished by the rotation direction of the washer pump. So the motor is powered with just reversed polarity. If the rear washer does not work but the front does, it should be due to some wiring problem.
Instead of the rear wash coming on, either BOTH do or (as now) just the front wash - with the rear wash switch activated. Perhaps there is a one way valve somewhere? If you are right, something really odd is happening.
Rear wipe works normally.
Thanks.

Wilco and thanks both of you.I believe Karel is correct - there are two pipes coming out of the pump, and one rotation gives front and the other rear. That fact that you are getting both suggests that the pump has perhaps fallen apart internally. I doubt it's over expensive, so I'd just replace it.
Happy new year.
