good news on the strip down

afraid i know nothing of these cars, so can't help with the washers,

got any pics, as we are always interested

BB :mrgreen:


from a quick internet search , it looks as simple as some wing-nuts on the bottom of the windscreen washers , follow the pipework , and undo the wing-nut ?

You are correct about the wing nut,s but it looks as if either the heater radiator has to be removed or the the top of the dash , I dont wat to do either if there is a obvius way.

Top of dash is very easy to remove. Just the nuts underneath at each end and disconnect the map reading light. Can't remember though if that gives enough access to the washers as it was a long time ago that I refitted mine. Worth removing though to see.
