Windscreen washer bottle

Post by smudge » Mon Jan 01, 2007 4:00 pm

My washer jets worked well until the other day when they delivered just a trickle of water despite having a full bottle.

There is obviously dirt in the system, but the bottle is a gonner with no cap, just a sheet of polythene held on with an elastic band - something I missed when I bought the car last September.

I have heard that the washer bottle is the same as that used in a Mini - is this true and which model should I look for in the breakers yard?

If it's an S1, then the bottle has been used in a variety of vehicles, but the mini is the most prevalent. Most minis that you'll find in a scrapper will work, I'd imagine.
