I have heard a few reports of the washer bottles in cars cracking and need replacement.

No doubt this is due to ice forming in the bottle and an older car would be more prone to it cracking.

I always use a suitable winter screen wash suitable for -5 degrees but I do add a bit of Meths as and when.

I must check where my cars bottle is located and how it could be changed if required.

I understand that on some cars that it requires the engine to be removed to get access to do this and the cost is Extremely high £4,500 EH ?

Why would a car manufacturer be so stupid to place the bottle in a place that requires the engine out to do the work.

The cost of £4,500 ? seems ridiculously high but I know that a clutch change did cost £2,500 8 years ago because I paid that, but that had expensive parts. Something wrong!

Engine out and back in 16 hours max ? At £150 per hour top end dealer = £2,400. Miss info. ?
