Window washer tubing

[simpo two]

The black rubber tubing that connects to the wipers has perished and split. Where's a good place to get a foot of new tubing please?

B&Q micro drip pipe, slightly to big for the wiper end but a small bit of tape solves that, you cant buy it in short lengths so take a pair of scissors or e-mail me your address as i have a bit spare... Del

I certainly would but your e-mail addy doesn't seem to exist?
Thanks Derek!

Buy the Leven Technology washer upgrade, its much neater and efficient,you get all new parts,loads of tube, its cheap and works great!!

I think you'll find that vacume advance tube fits exactly, just cut to required length.

But then I'll need to find some of that too!
Hunted through Leven website but didn't see washer upgrade - do you have a link?
TIA

The wasker kit is back. It is not on the web site however it can be found as a .pdf file document that is linked off the PH TVR news page editorial about our special offers. Any problems or more info call Julie on tel: [phone]

I would advise caution when removing the tubing from the bulkhead. You can actually detach the pipe from the other side of the connector, requiring holes drilled in the dashboard to reconnect it!

The bit that's perished is outside; it just fits over a doofer at each end. I don't think the bulkhead is involved.

Halfords and Motorworld do clear which I used to replace mine.

I'm not sure if the clear stuff is similar to the pipe used for aquarium air pipes but looks a very similar diameter to the stuff we got on our tank at work. If you need some I'm sure our fish won't mind

Thanks everyone, Seasider has a bit of the black tubing left over and hopefully he's managed to find an envelope

Well alright then, removing the bit from the doofer. It's not secured to the bit below the windscreen in any serious way.
