Maybe one for the "How to do " section ?

after 11 years of service the head lamp washers had seen better days, So this month, it was there turn on the list of things to do that got fixed,

I looked at the break down pictures on-line and was in the way of thinking its a front bumper off job, So off came the head lights and all was exposed, After a bit of pokking about i could see this, ok its not the sharpest pic but its all iv got,

you can get at the 2 torq screws that hold the pumps in place by using a small ratchet in the upwards position, a bit fiddly but you can do it with ease and care, Don't drop the screws inside the bumper,

then you will be able to take off the cap cover and see this.

Took 1 hour to do both sides with 2 cups of Tea!
