Washer Bottle Relacement

[midhertsgalaxy]

I have a 2001 galaxy 2.3 petrol, and recently overfilled the washer bottle. No great problem, but there was no room for any "anti freezing" solution. Thus, you've guessed it, one freezing night later, and the bottle has obviously frozen, cracked and its contents are now dripping over the drive

I have looked under the bonnet and can only see the top of the bottle. it looks well buried under the battery. In the absence of a Haynes Manual or a cheap local garage, has anyone attempted to replace a washer bottle and have you got any advice for a part time DIY er

 

Thanks

I would have though you would have removed it via the wheel arch but according to the TIS its a bumper and head light off job! it doesnt look the hard a job :lol: just glads its you doing it and not me :lol:

Well....with the state of our galaxy you ca remove it via the wheel arch!!! :lol:

 

Hmmmmmm...have you tried taking those thingies off that are right in front of the wheel...thos black things...we aint got one on ours at the mo and the water bottle is very visable!! :lol:

It is very visable via the wheel arch but from looking at the diagrams it seems all the fixings for it are either behind the bumper or under the head light :lol:
