My windscreen washers packed up and now the water squirts all over the engine under the bonnet. A cylindrical type connector has come loose which contains a small spring and a small plastic ring. I think its some kind of primitive non return valve. I put it all back together but it just falls apart again when i press washer button.
Anyone know if the two parts of the connector should be glued together?

They cost about a couple of quid in Halfwits.
