How to replace the washer reservoir?

My screenwash reservoir is leaking, it won't hold much water. But how to get at it? It seems to be hidden in a totally inaccessible area. At least, from the top of the car. Is it accessible from below, somehow?

Check the stickies, there's a link to instructions for retro fitting the low fluid light for the washer resevoir. This should give you an idea fo how to get it out.

I've checked the stickies and I can't find anything about the washer reservoir.
And when I try 'search' the forum software tells me I am not allowed to . . .
Can someone help please?

Turn your wheel so you can axcess the plastic underneath the wheel well...Bend that back a bit and youll expose the washer fluid bottle. a few bolts and youll have it out.

As for getting a new bottle, you can search around the forum for people with parts cars and proably get it fairly cheap if you dont have one yet.

It's back in the shop at the moment, they hadn't finished fixing the remaining engine oil leak and the PS pump. Soon as I get it back I'll remove the reservoir and check it. (Almost every vehicle I buy, the washer reservoir develops a hole!)
Hmm . . now I think about it, I need to do something about the radiator bottle, too. It is just lying around in there, no mount to hold it in place.
