C5 X7 no start (or only runs for fraction of a second)

Matt,

At the washers today what a PITA. The piping runs along the top of the wheel arch then disappears into the inner wing Rear pipe goes into bulk head and disappears.
Front pipe held in place with clip somewhere in the inner wing, pipe joints on a plastic fitting with front one built in and the rear clipped in, at inner wing not much room to do anything.
Rear leaking just before bulkhead need more pipe to complete the job.

Already had the leak at the tailgate as it enters the bodywork.

You need to get pipes and tubes from end to the other

Dead easy, bit of electrical trunking, gaffa tape, a Dolorean (BX Est can sprayed silver) and a mate's 50th bday

Sorry, yes, I'm going to start more of a blog post (not sure if simplest to just start afresh or able to rename this one??) But working ok at present.

Yes, there's no "resting on your laurels" (for those on the road) at this house!
