I just bought a new washer bottle off of fleabay and was wondering how you fit it?

What are the procedures involved in this?

Any guides?

TIA RaiseR
 
Assuming you have the car in your profile (mk1 punto) then you should be able to get it out from under the wheel arch (take the wheel and arch trim off). But you might need to take the front wing off.

It will tell you in your haynes manual! (If you don't have one, get one!)
 
hi, yeah i do own a haynes manual but im at work and thought i should just see how you guys would do it :)
Thanks
 
It's under the wing above the wheel arch liner. You will need a sharp scriber to clean out the screw heads, a new posi screwdriver #2 and some new screws and some WD40. Try to struggle with dirty screws and a blunt screwdriver and you will chew the screw heads. You then have a problem because they are too hard to drill out. You have been warned! :)

I have just been down to the main dealer to get some (£0.44 each) but they have to order them in. FFS, its not like the screws will be any different on other models. I guess they never work on older cars.
 
The bolts that hold it in place are under the bonnet (just thought i would mention that to save you searching under the wing for them)
