Folded back the wheel arch liner but all seemed good there with the pump and hose. Had a think, and not wanting to remove the bumper (done that before!), I took off the fog light cover, and there was the leak. Hose split where it feeds the headlight washer. Removed fog light for access, removed blue plastic clip holding nozzle that the hose fits on. Cut off the split end of hose. Slid on a length of heat shrink tubing for final security. Heated up (in a cup of water) some aquarium tubing that I had left over from my VW T25 washer renewal, and bridged the nozzle and the end of the hose. Slid over the heat shrink (some of the tubing near the join looks a bit fragile!), and refitted the nozzle and blue clip. Well pleased! 90 mins in total. __________________ XC70 D5 SE Sport 2008
