Just to follow up on this...car is off the road. I 've had nowhere to work on it this last year or so (with all my tools in storage), so was waiting for my mechanic to come back from his holidays. I had previously parked nose-in too close to a kerb some time ago, so as you can see in the photo below - the bumper cover getting disturbed has probably dislodged a water hose connection.
Things have now ended up that I'm going to have to try and fix it myself, so hoped someone could tell me before I go through the hassle of extricating my tools out of the storage unit, if the headlight washer hoses can be accessed without removal of the bumper cover?
