Hello again to all, this weeks problem is the rear washer jet, I've got water leaking all around the brake lights etc, looks like it's coming from somewhere behind... some metal. I've done a search already but wanted to know where to buy the replacement hose and what to do with it etc.
Cheers

Are you sure it's the washer jet causing it? Could it be the seal?

not sure really, can't see past. All I can see is loads of washer flying down onto the rear left lights.

Right I'm quite confused right now, still looking at it and I have a coiled rubber part which inside has some sort of wires, and a cut of black tube... However by the brake lights there's a much thicker black tube which looks more like the hose. I'll get a couple of snaps and you can have a butchers.

So here we have the tube I originally thought it was, the thicker one just next to the rear left lights.
A zoom out on that.
And this is what I've just come across, a much thinner tube inside a rubber thing which also has wires, heading towards the top of the boot. However this is clearly cut where as I can't tell if the thicker one is.
As you can see, much thinner

The big thick tube is for the sunroof , when water collects in the sunroof area it drains off threw them black tubes and drips under the car mate

Excellent info cheers. Now i just need to find the other end of it... There's seriously no trace if I go alongside the other wires that are there. Mind you there is water dripping down from somewhere I just can't get to it.

Right ok, this is as far as I can see to where the leak is coming from. Bassically the other side of the rubber tube that covers up the hose. So it must obviously be inside the boot door frame somewhere, does anyone know how I could get the broken end out from here, or any ideas as to where the hose goes? Or are either of those leads in the picture there anything relevant... I'm baffled.
