my car has no windscreen washer bottle. I assume it once sat on the inner wing on the drivers side near the rad. The jets are there i assume connected to the plastic tubes beneath the windscren panel. I have bought a washer bottle, pump tubes etc to fit bt cannot find the end of the old tubes. Where do the tubes normally run? Are they in the drivers side wing? TIA Jes

The bottle bracket is mounted on to an access panel that leads into the front wing void and carbon cannister. Tubing runs over the brake master cylinder and down over arch past cannister through access panel. Can often be seen when upside down in drivers footwell.

Once found and connected use some lock wire as the greatest pressure is at the panel connector and I found that's most common one to get 'blown off' wink

johno - thanks -- everything was missing, bottle, bracket, tube, wires the lot. found the tube in the inner wing and the wires tucked behind the new rad. Looks as though when the rad was fitted they forgot to reinstate the washer bottle. all done now - can see again!
