Hi all, I recently bought a mini K and it came without the windscreen washer reservoir, hosing, etc (I need it for a road worthy). It has the pump style button inside and the jets/outlets above the bonnet so it clearly had one at one stage. I have a reservoir and hoses but I can't see an obvious way that the hose goes from the engine bay into the car. I assume it goes through the firewall but I'm not sure at what point. There is a fairly big hole in the firewall behind the insulation that leads pretty well directly to the back of the instrument cluster (near the carbie). I can't seem to see how to get the washer hose from that point though down to under the dash. Does it go in that way and somehow then feed down? Or is there a another point it should go in (or do I need to drill a hole somewhere to poke it through?)?

Any advice on the correct way to install the washer hose (and pictures) would be great.

I can get images if you need, but yes, the hose sneaks down through the firewall with the wiring from the engine bay through to under the dash via the center binnacle cut out.

there's a big hole through the dash right behind the speedo - look under the dash and follow the wires from the ignition switch and you can't miss it
