    i know this might sound daft but ive not had my saxo long so im unsure,
    where do i fill up the bottle for the rear window washer jets, is it linked up to the 1 in the engine bay to the left or is it like my old car in the boot???

    I pulled the nozzle off the end of mine, soaked it overnight, got the rubbish out with a pin, and put back together. While the nozzle was off, I ran the rear screenwash to get rid of any debris in the pipes.

    Im guessing the car has been stood for a while? under trees maybe. I normally get a pin and poke it in the jets to poke the crap out, failing that i pull the pipe off the back and give the jet a blast with an airline and its never failed yet.

    No, I literally just pulled with a pair of pliers, ran the washer jet for about 20 seconds, until the water was clear. I then soaked the nozzle overnight, then dug the debris out with a pin in the morning (maybe 3-4 mins) and pushed it back on. It may need adjusting, but that can be done with a pin in the nozzle until it hits the screen not the roof or flies out behind the car.

    All in all, probably less than 10 mins work apart from the soaking
