Thanks for the advice, I was a bit hesitant to start pulling the pipes around and making matters worse....will give it a try as how you've explained it seems pretty straightforward.

Surely if it's one of the push release hose ends, how will a spring clip make a proper seal on the fixed part on the bulk head? My local garage said take the car away and come back when you have the parts, and as there are zero parts available the cars sort of not going to get fixed any time soon.

Thank you  Big G and Dr G, hopefully I can solve this one....just might take a bit of time as there's not much out there at the moment.

Thanks Al, got a feeling that there won't be any V6 items there, but I'll give them a call, and see if he has any suitable ones kicking around.

Also noticed that there's no quick connector on that item, so does that mean the old connector can be removed from the leaking pipe?

Yes many thanks, both correct.....part number 9 129583, other pipe looks the same but can't read due to fading.

Another one of my shot in the dark posts looking for the hose that comes from the bulkhead and connects to the auxiliary water pump on the drivers side inner wing. Unfortunately the top end of the hose has a push/pull connector, which makes a Billy Bodge it repair awkward.

Elbow Grease, non solvent and about a quid to buy. it dissolves that crappy silicone cockpit shine that every one used way back. Soak the switch faces in a shallow tray for about an hour at least (but not the complete switch body)and it breaks it down and  gives a milky appearance. Then a microfibre cloth soaked in the Elbow Grease and the odd gentle scraping with your finger nails will get rid of the cockpit shine for good without affecting the coating. I've done sixty plus switches to date and they are as good as new....and yes I know I'm a klepto, but you can never have enough switches
