Washer bottle!

Help please folks!

I know where it is! Wink

But problem is with filling it! When I pour fluid down the funnle it comes straigh out the bottom of D3!? Evil or Very Mad Rolling Eyes

Also the funnle seems loose? I took a vid earlier but have to wait to be able to upload it!?

Is this common with them or not? Saddly did not try to fill it before the freeze so not sure if it has cracked?

Also what is the easiest way to get at it to have a propper look!?

Many thanks

K

Removing front left wheel and going in via the wheel arch liner is probably the easiest route. I've never had the front bumper off but it looks like it would take a little longer!

I couldn' tell you to be honest as only had it a month & bottle was full when we bought it? Was bought of a trade chap who ran the vehicle himeself, so would assume not pure water!

But could not say for sure.

Oh the joys! Well hopefully have a day or 2 off next week so will have to have a look!
HWMBO wants an ARB bumper (shame not got one to put on!) As would of timed in well! Whistle

OK next question!

How much to replace & hassle of a job changing if it is bust?

Well fixed it today!

Took me 15 minutes!

Luckily the filler neck had popped out of the bottle. So just shoved it back in!

I took the grill off & NS head light out & could squeeze my hands in, to get it back in.

Squirted a bit of the good old WD40 on light connectors & also the relase pulls for the headlight (as that was the worst bit) They did not want to pull up!

Re filled it before I put it back together (just to be safe Very Happy that that was the problem) It was. Then less than 5 mins to put it all back together!

I saw on an earlier post about some washer fluid that went down to -65 think it was in litre bottles & cost no more than a couple of quid a bottle.
Does anyone know where it is! Or the make!

Have tried to do a search but not come acrosas it yet!

Many thanks for all the great help. Plus that vid link to youtube was bob on! Thumbs Up

I use Meths and water 20% mix - seems to resist freezing so far. Its whats in screen-wash anyway but its a deal cheaper.
