When you put the tube back on dry it off and superglue it, mine used to come
off every couple of months, I asked a garage what they did and superglue was
the suggestion.

Mine hasn't come off for about 18 months.

Aah...That's a thought .I did see a suggestion to use small hose clips
rather than just leave the tubes pushed on ...iirc I think the pump
nozzles have a lip at the end ....hope they havent snapped off

It's very common on Mondeos I think they should have used a longer length of
pipe (a couple of inches would have done) and clipped it better.

Has it, indeed?
Lucky I've got a barrel of it, from 2004.
