Have noticed a small water pipe come loose under the bonnet today - under the aftermarket water tank are two pumps, one connects up to the front windscreen washer, the other is connected to a pipe that ends in a 45 degree connector ( to another bit of pipe ) with a small clip/bracket on it.

This isnt connected to anything at the mo, have looked in the later model manual and the second pump is supposed to be for the rear window washer, but my 98 model hasnt got one of these.

So - anyone have any idea what it should be connected up to ? at the moment its just sort of dribbling water when the engine runs.

Just had a thought - could it be for the headlight washers ? anyone know if this is what the second pump is for on the earlier models ?

Ignore me - on deeper probing ( the car, not me ) found out the second pump isnt even wired up - looks like the header tank was used on a later car before and its just been swapped over complete, so the second pipe shouldnt be connected to anything.

Will get it bunged up though to make sure it doesnt leak anywhere.
