Default Mis-Connected washers and wipers

Hi dudes wondered if anyone out there might be able to cast an eye over this small issue that i have.

Just picked up a beautiful 00/STIVI great motor and as is always the way with a 7 year olf car, it has some character pre-packaged with it!

Long story short, when i push the button on the left hand stalk, the rear washer jet squirts screen cleaner down the back window but activates the front wipers? Similarly when i twist the th left hand stalk it squirts water on the front window and activates the wiper at the back

this must be a mis-connected wire somewhere right?

Any help would be greatfully appreciated chaps/chappesses!

Or the two plastic pipes from the two pumps have been swapped over. That assumes they're both off the same water bottle, mines not got a rear wash so not sure if they are or not. Anyway if they are it'll be a lot easier to just swap the two pipes over than to start messing with the wiring.

Top man, checked it this afternoon and foundthe washer hoses to be connected to the wrong screen pumps. Simply removed the washer bottle and unplugged them!

Thanks again
