have you tried to get some long nose pliers in the hole to fish out the connector. lf this doesn't work attach some string or strong cotton onto the existing pipe and pull it back from the drivers side as mine runs on the outside before entering the bulkhead behind the dash. l have to get a specialist to sort mine out. frown.

good luck

I had teh same on mine - people were talking about taking out the dash and cutting into the bodywork there to get to the pipes but David Batty seemed to sort it without too much hassle when the old girl went in for an MOT...

...wish I knew how he did it tho!

You could try a knitting needle with a drop of superglue on the end or heat a pin up and bend the end over at 60 deg and try to use it like a fish hook
