    Might not be the hoses. Between the washer tank and nozzles there are some one-way valves, they're relatively easy to spot. These could get blocked eventually, and while I've never had the issue you're describing, I can see how these one-way valves may be contributing to the issue you describe.
    I'm not a complete idiot - some bits are missing.

    Awesome thanks. I might upload a video with said issue if checking this fails. I think it might be more due to the fact the tubes aren't staying in place into the washer nozzles and tape/super glue help a bit they eventually cease.

    I had a similar problem a little while ago, the tubes kept coming off. Must have softened or expanded. I just cut a small piece off the end of the hose and then connected the newer end and it was a much tighter fit and they stayed on. Just a thought.
