This might be daft question, but how I do fill the rear wiper washers?? All the handbook says is there's a container in the engine compartment but I cant find it

Thanks Nigel, so glad I found this site..just got divorced after 25 years and until recently had never even put fuel in a car, let alone lifted bonnet!

I've double checked in the dealers workshop manual and the illustrated parts catalog (all years) and they only show the one washer fluid bottle mounted behind the left headlight and the fluid pipe to the rear screen passing down the (UK) passenger side comming through the engine bay bulkhead and then down the side trim by the passenger door hinges and then along the sill to the rear. So your wet floor could well be down to a split/damaged pipe, as to cost of fixing that will depend where you take it, dealer man hour rates are silly money!!

Nigel I really appreciate your answer - the handbook says there is a separate compartment though? Got a nasty feeling that if you're right the wet front passenger footwell might be due to dodgy pipe.....? Any idea how much garage should charge to fix?

It uses the same water bottle and pump unit as the front washers, the pump spins oneway for the front and the opposite way for the rear, the water bottle fill point is by the left headlight.
