Yup.. bumber off, and then its pretty straight foward.. Not too tricky. Heres pics both of them, 4 and 2litre bottles. Mind that the car is LHD.

May be slightly off topic, but never realised the screenwash bottle was that big 0_o

Yeh its a good size mine lasts ages even when I used to drive on the motorway everyday, my old fiesta ran out much quicker.

Can you exchange the small 2l bottle for the bigger 4 or 5l one like the Fabia boys do?

Yep, did mine over christmas. Have a search on here , there is a guide on it. Took me two days in total but that wasnt rushing and included fitting of Hids. About a 2-3 hr job if you do it in one hit.

The standard washer bottle is only 2 litres. Cars with the headlight washers have a 4.5 litre one instead.

Is the pipe where it "T"s off where it splits between front washer and rear washer? (my rear one is off down there somewhere, but this pic may give me a clue as to where to shove my hands in!) I didnt expect the washer bottle to be where it is!

That's where it goes to the left and right headlight washers I think.
