Took my t350 for a drive down london today. 1 problem occurred and I noticed something else but it might just be me being to paranoid.

1st the problem. The pipe that runs from the window washer water tank has come off and is squirting water in the engine bay... Can’t seem to find were it attaches? (the one end is still attached to the tank)

2nd the thing i noticed but might just be me... The steering wheel seems loose. While i'm driving it seems to have about 1/2cm play either way before it actually turns the wheels. Has anybody else experienced this if so how’s it fixed?

Some car info. Its an 04 plate done 5000 miles and I have the wear and tear option.

Cheers in advance.

Wierd my washer pipe did exactly the same on the London Thunder run, thought that i had used all of the water.

Lift the bonnet and you should find that it has been disconnected on the drivers side bulkhead, there is a one way valve where the washer bottle pipe should join to.

Yes - mine did exactly the same. It's a nuisance, but I zip-tied the tubing on either side of the connector to something (can't remember what) and that's stopped it flailing about and therefore falling apart.
