Having not had the use of my rear washer for months now after getting some work done on the front, i had a look under the bottle today and discovered a hose unattached, unsure where it has came off would anyone have a diagram of the washer bottle and the correct set up? Thanks in Advance
 
Three motors as you look from front. Left one is rear screen. Middle one is headlamps. Should come from motor and split by a T to either side. Right one is windscreen.
 
Sure it is a washer hose and not a fog light breather??!!

Also do you have RAVE??

These are the LR workshop manuals, indispensable for the Range Rover owner!

I am fairly sure it is a hose and not a breather, it comes from a split from a T, all of the pumps look as if they have a hose attached to each. I have lay under the car and had a look upwards.
I don't have Rave, could you point me in the right direction to download?
 
Ahh, another Edinburgh person! I've just done these too!

There's a link to RAVE in the sticky section at the top :)

I used to stay in Edinburgh, Now moved to the Borders, Much more peace and quiet!!!

I think i will just need to get under it again tomorrow and have another look, it's got to go somewhere.....

If it comes from the centre motor and is split on a T it is for the headlamp washers. Spotlamp breather is a hard plastic pipe. Washer pipes are all 5 mm I/D rubber. Each headlamp washer pipe should have a NRV at some point between the T and the headlamp at both sides. Maybe the pipe has come off an NRV.

Looks like that was correct, I have been trying to unblock the rear washer at the far end with a pin however even after getting a few dribbles it still doesn't feed water even though i can hear the motor working.

NRV has possibly failed behind trim panels N/S rear just above lamp cluster.

A firm spurt is more satisfying than a weak dribble.
 
My blockage was the non return valve behind the near side rear lights stuck shut. You can reach it by groping through the small removable hatch, it looks / feels like a 5p sized round thingey in the tube up behind the foam insulation. I thought mine was bunged up with dried washer fluid. I blew mine through from the pump end with my electric tyre pump - it shot up to 40psi, cleared the blockage and then blew through at 10psi. It's been fine since.
