So what have you done to your car today?
TheBoy:
Discovered, with the help of a hosepipe, that her car was actually a metallic red, not dogshit brown.

Cant see it making any difference if disconnected. Off to consult my Haynes now, trouble is you find it says wire goes to 451 and when you look at 451 there is nothing there (thats just an example number)

Need to read it better...
In order:
Fuse 15.
Black wire.
Switch.
White Black Wire.
X3/6.
X1/36.
(connection to Pin 10 Interior Mirror for undimming purposes when reversing).
Estate has connection at X22/8 Saloon does not.
Both reverse light bulbs in parallel.
Brown wire
Rear body ground (via X22/4 estate only).
Doesn’t go anywhere near the engine ECU except by way of sharing the harness route with the cat wiring back to X3.
If you only have the WhiteBlack wire to the switch then you're missing the 12v feed from F15.

I thought a dab of glue would do the trick. :-\

Could mean there's a blockage somewhere? Surely you don't get that much back pressure out of a washer pump?

Yes I think you're right Jim, I've been fiddling with it this afternoon and although I can blow down the pipe, I had to blow quite hard. ( :-X ) So it's either blocked or kinked somewhere. :-\
I've reattached the pipe to the pump with a bodged up pipe clip (twisted wire), but as it's in an awkward place I couldn't twist it up very tight, so when it comes off again I'll just replace the pipe. :y

And as a point of reference, ALL the tail light wiring on ALL Omegas runs along the left hand sill ;)
countrywoman:
Reverse light wired up today, wires were there ready. Fitted gear shift assembly but need some fir tree panel clips to hold the boot in place under gear lever, of course non of the ones in my assortment box fitted.
Read the wiring diagram, the black/white goes to the reverse switch via the A/C and auto box ECU so it's fine disconnected.
Yup the Omega loom in the Austin runs down n/s as well ------------
