If someone has a later 1.8, can you do me a favour please?

I need a shot of how the heater hose from the front of the head is supposed to be routed, and what it attaches to.

I think I've finally tracked down my ultra annoying rattle to this hose, as someone has mashed it into entirely the wrong place:

Pretty sure it's not supposed to be wedged between the starter solenoid and a sharp bracket!

As a result of it's stupid positioning it's been bouncing on a power steering hose, which has killed it's own rubber mount and has started flopping around

Surprised it hasn't failed already, any help here would be appreciated!
 
Will take a look tomorrow to see where it should go but my car has had the head off and the gearbox out in it's life so couldn't be certain mine is in the right place either.
 
That heater hose will use the same route on both early and later models, and yes just disconnect one end and route it over the top of that current arrangement.
 
Sorry its late but herewith a pic from a 2005 1.8i. Hope it help. If you need more pics, just let me know.
