   hi,
   
   got a 53 plated vtr, went to use the wipers last night and no water came out, checked the washer filler and it was empty.
   
   bunged in a bit of water, watched it slowly empty, then continued to measure in water and washer fluid as per the book but it still didnt top up into the washer filler.
   
   checked under the car and could see fluid dripping down onto a lip inside the engine bay on the opposite side of the driver side wheel arch.
   
   double checked i hadn't spilt any, but can't get a clear view of it yet to see if its something obvious.
   
   just wondered how easy it is to get to the washer bottle and the tubing that feeds the washer jets.
   
   
   cheers.....

   Take off the drivers side front wheel,unclip the wheel arch liner unscrew the filler neck of the washer bottle(from engine bay)drop the bottle down & unclip the wiring plug.
