Fixed the rear washer. The diaphragm had failed in the one way valve at the rear of the water pipe. Stripped the valve, cleaned out the old diaphragm, and used a latex glove to make a new diaphragm and left the spring and plunger out when I reassembled. It now works perfectly, new one on order:)

Its in the rear N/S quarter panel just above the rear light cluster. It's a bit of a fiddle depending on how much extra pipe you have. I had to remove the parcel shelf support for access and fiddle through the rear light panel. Before you start, check the screen jet isn't blocked, it just prises out.:D
 
patched a piece of pipe in the fuel feed pipe that i broke the other day and sealed it with the glue gun now working great with no leaks hopefully that will do till i can get a replacement part

Got me very worried here, patched a fuel feed pipe with a glue gun. Hope you have insurance. Must be a GEMS engine. Please read the following and note nobody did a glue job!

mine is a diesel and pipe is not near heat but thanks for the warning there is no leakage of diesel and the pipe is similar to what's broken

Sorry, I just assumed petrol. Hope the repair works as I am sure it will. reason for my fright is that I have a Thor V8 where the fuel feed pipe let go on a trip back from Scotland. Was very scarry as its 3.5 bar all over the back of the engine and exhaust before I could pull over. Happened on a country lane and no fire - very lucky. Had been in the fast lane on a motorway different story.
Problem is the replacement fuel feed pipe for the Thor petrol engine is no longer available. I have searched all over the world and so far haven't found a new one. Except for a dealer going bust in America and they won't send it to me - not even to a NewYork address!! And a Russian outfit who gave me the two fingers yesterday. But in my on going hunting you will have no probs in gettind a diesel fuel feed pipe. Good luck and if you hear of someone breaking a Thor engined can please let me know.

Have you tried Charles on 07977509008 ? very helpful guy :)
 
Went shopping in it and twice it threw a bulb failure message, too quick to see which bulb but as only the brake lights were operating, it must be one of them. As both are working I'm hoping it's not the sign of a BECM problem.
Servicing it on Sunday, so will pull the lamps and check for corrosion.
