clue, have a good look at the banjo fitting
 
Inner washer, we all make mistakes and forget things. I know I do, lol

correct, I found a crush washer under the car when tidying up the tools, must have slipped out when trying to fit the flex pipe, bit of a ****** to get to.

I have a cunning plan involving stealing one of my daughters hairclips....
