Strangely, the pipe coming out of the wing on mine (as in Davids's photo) is about twice as long, but appears to be of a lesser quality. David's appears to be of a semi-rigid or reinforced pipe, whereas mine appears more like a thicker vacuum pipe.

I still have had the same problems as you Andrew, as the pipes from the right angled section onward are cut to the extreme minimum, and I've had one come off.

No point in me taking a photo of the pipes and wiring, as I've had to take mine off to get at the passenger washer. Hadn't filled the water tank, and then one day driving through a long section of roadworks with muck everywhere, was using them almost continuously, and sucked it dry. Passenger washer completely gummed up with what someone referred to elsewhere as 'snot'. Took off the pipe and then spent about 15 minutes with hot soapy water and a 5ml syringe to clear it.
