Noticed yesterday that the above wasn't working. Filled it with screenwash and could hear the motor working, but nothing coming through. Thought I would investigate the boot area as I put the new floor in last Friday, and sure enough, the rubber pipes were disconnected.

Took almost a full kitchen roll to mop up the fluid that had basically squirted allover the place under the floor, but problem sorted!

We had an aircon leak that drained under the passenger seat and it caused the the same sort of problem. Only thing was we didn't notice the leak until we noticed a very odd smell coming from under the seat.

A while ago I did use an airline to blow the washer pipe clean from the back to the front, it worked really well, never had any problems with gunk build up since.

After fiddling with my rear washer, the pipe to the washer developed a tendency to pop off while washing. Had to cut a bit off and pull it through. Made a hell of a mess on the boot carpet!

Mine is just a thinner pipe running into a thicker pipe, with no clamp or anything. Tried a jubilee clip, but not small enough. I'll find something to make a fix on the joint though. Hasn't wet the carpet, just part filled the spare wheel space and other parts.
