Hi All
I am now the proud owner of a 2006 Range Rover Sport after upgrading from my Freelander 2, however , I have encountered my first problem, My washer bottle seems to have burst during the cold snap up here in Scotland andI need to replace it, Has any one got any details on removing the inner wheel arch liner and the washer bottle itself?????


Thanks in advance

Colin

Hi Colin and wellcome

I think you need to take the bumper off to remove the washer bottle. I am sure Bobby will be along to provide details.

Hi, not sure if this helps, but my washer bottle developed a leak whilst it was in the stealers for a service, it cracked around the plastic welds where the plastic bracket is welded to the bottle (my theory is that this could be a weak point, a full bottle is VERY heavy and is supported by this flimsy bracket, I think the stealers filled it right up, then thrashed it on the test-run (they averaged 7mpg over 8 miles! (and scuffed an alloy, and got two stone chips on one of the doors)).
Anyway, it dumped about half it's contents overnight. I bought a new bottle for less than £30 (not bad).
It is actually possible to swap the bottle without removing the front bumper (I did it), it requires a certain amount of dexterity and decent tools, and the removal of the nearside fog light (to get to the last bolt).
If my memory serves me right, there are two bolts holding the afore-mentioned plastic bracket (accessible from under the wheel arch), and one bolt to steady the bottle (accessible through the fog-light hole).
I'm not saying it's an easy task, and not one I would like to perform at the side of the road at night, in this dismal weather (it's a heated garage job!), but it is possible.
Use a silicone grease on all the rubber gaskets to ease assembly and ensure no leaks, keep everything spotlessly clean and you should have no problems.
Btw, I never fill my bottle more than half full now.

Good luck

Bob.
