Can anybody tell me how to get access to the headlamp washer supply tubing. The tube on the passenger side has come off and it drains my washer bottle. I have clamped the tubing up for the time being but I want to get it sorted.

Take the wiper arms off of the headlamps, and remove the plastic grill.
I doubt if the pipe has come off! The usual problem is that the white back check valve has failed. Common problem, and about £3 odd from the dealer.
