Took some photgraphs yesterday when changing a broken water bottle, so hope these are of help to someone.

1. Jack the car up and put on axle stand (offside, drivers side UK)
2. Remove the wheel
3. Undo the screws on the front of the wheel arch liner and fold back the liner over the brake disc. No need to completely remove it. Revealing the water bottle.
4. There are 2 10mm bolts to undo. One you can see, one you can't. Use a 10mm socket or spanner on the left hand side one, but you will have to get a socket on the right hand one that's the other side as there is metal-work in the way of a spanner. You are working blind, but have to undo it by feel.
5. Pull up on the pump and it will just come away out of the hole. Beware, if there is any fluid in the bottle, it will now come out.
6. Move the bottle downwards and remove.
7. Refitting is a reversal of removal.
8. Test its sealed by filling with washer fluid and then activating the washer jets.
9. All being well, refit the liner and road wheel.

I've tried to attach some pictures which may be of some help but the upload is failing for some reason.
 
Upload working now, here's the pictures to help you.
