Windscreen washer replacement...
Discussion
OK so I managed to break off the nearside nipple that goes to the wiper mounted washer last year but bodged a solution with a t-piece.
Snapped off the offside one today whilst removing the wiper arms but this time the washer hose disappeared into the void that is the cavity under the windscreen and can't be retrieved easily.
Not *TOO* worried by this as the washers stopped working a couple of weeks ago - the pump still whirrs but I suspect a hose must have come adrift elsewhere and no water was hitting the washers themselves...
...anyway, given all these factors I'm thinking of just replacing the whole run between the pump and wipers just so that it's serviceable.
Anyway - has anyone done this and if so then are there any pointers of things to watch out for? I'm thinking of just running a new hose from the washer bottle, through the engine bay and cable tie it to the black perforated grille that runs underneath the windscreen - there's enough gap between the bonnet and that grille to get a washer hose through - might not be the most elegant solution but at least it should work.
Anyone know what size the outlet on the washer pump is?
