A bit of help if possible lads! I have a 1999 discovery series 2 td5. My washer bottle seems to have sprung a leak. When i put water in it slowly dribbles out but when i pull the lever to wash the windows the water spurts out underneath instead. How do i get to the reservoir?? i cant even see the bottle!! Another problem is my dipped beam does not work on the drivers side even after replacing the bulb. Sorry for the questions lads but i got an MOT booked for 03/03/09 and i would prefer it to pass first time!
 
Sounds as if the pipe has come off the pump

Cheers guv ill check it our friday afternoon. I have also just ordered myself a haynes manual.
 
Job now done! I took off the complete bumper only to realise i didn't have to as i could access the problem from within the wheel arch!! (b'stard)
The local motorworld dint sell replacement pipe so i jubilee clipped the old ones back on. Touch wood there are staying there. I have also fixed the dipped beam and order new discs and pads for the front. Hopefully it wont fail the mot now!! I did notice a lot of oil sprayed underneath it though! I am also using the ACE fluid - two weeks ago i filled it to max and now its well under minimum. Where could this be leaking from??

There are threads somewhere here on replacing the ACE pipes. Might take some looking as 3-letter searches don't work. Get it fixed as the ACE is an EXPENSIVE job if it fails! It'll either be a pipe or the ACE pump.

Update on the ACE.... Well i put the bloody thing in for an mot after replacing front discs and pads and four new tyres. Failed mot on rear brake pipes and steering arm! At the same time he told me the ace pipes were split. Gonna cost £400 to supply and fit new pipes - bstard! Including brakes and tyres i have spent just under 1000 fkn quid. Still i wouldn't change it!! lol
