Too good!

Mine, too!

I finally got around to tackling mine today while I was swapping the front bumper. The pump worked so I tried blowing out the water line with compressed air.

That was a mistake. It's blown the line off a connector somewhere in the left rear quarter - I can hear the air when the line is pressurised.

I'll be taking the covers off there tomorrow!

I'm not too sure with the P38 but some LRs have a valve in the rear pillar/roof area to stop washer fluid dripping out of the jet on acceleration so that could well have blown a hose off.

Yes, looking at RAVE, there is an NRV in the rear quarter. I'll pull that panel out tomorrow as I want to replace it with a spare from the other car.

I think I saw an NRV on the floor in the back of your spares car yesterday......

I'll have to make sure it's still there then

Fixed.

The hose had blown off the NRV when I put air pressure into the water line at the pump.

It took quite a while to find the blown off line in the rear pillar. (Disregard the felt pen markings they were there.)

I had to remove the nozzle in the tailgate as it was blocked (and quite badly). It's a pig to get to with big hands. If you ever remove it, be careful the hose doesn't pull back into the tailgate.
