Hi There, I am relatively new to Chimaera ownership and have my first problem. Can anyone help?
Basically the windscreen washers have stopped working i.e. spraying water, whilst the motor itself is running fine. On investigation, the windscreen washer tubing that comes through the bulkhead appears to have come away from the plastic connectors that come through to by the screen. How do I get to the tubing to push it back on? Do I have to take the dash board off?
Many thanks

Thanks for your help.
I can trace the hose by looking under the dashboard whilst lying in the drivers footwell facing upwards.
The hose has come off both plastic pieces which protrude through the bulkhead to connect onto the hose which goes directly onto the windscreen washers.
Difficult one to explain I know!!!

I think you basically have to cut a hole to get in there?

If its where I'm thinking that is.
