Windscreen Washers Blocked
One of my nozzles is blocked, sure its sucked up some gunk from the bottom of the washer bottle as some green slime has come out of one nozzle and now its blocked. taken the grill off my T25, but cannot see the tube for the drivers side nozzle, please dont tell me its a dash off job to get at these tubes?

Re: Windscreen Washers Blocked
I presume that you have tried to clear the hole of gunk with a pin or small needle before dismantling anything?

yes,
There appears to be very little slack on the pipe to allow the nozzle to be removed outwards from the bodywork too.

just realiosed i had by track pump for my bike tyres in the car, used that with a football needle inflator and blown back down through the nozzle, its dislodged whatever was there for now, here's hoping it wont all come back up in one lump together again.

Good thinking
Can anyone tell "us" if that pipe is a dash out job to get at ?

I had this problem on a previous T25. Blew out the pipes but also removed the washer reservoir and gave it a good clean out to avoid a recurrence. A fiddly job but worthwhile IMHO.
