The washer bottle on my focus had a crack in it following last winter, I pulled it out and bodged it with fibre glass, it was intended as a temporary fix but it still isn't leaking so it will stay until it does then my salvage spare will go on.
Is it coming out from around an O ring? if so you can just bung some hylomar (or bathroom sealant for that matter) on it to stop the leak.

Congratulations
Are you waiting for your "licence to kill" or just permission to operate a JCB on land which you don't own? ;)

Do you have to have doors for an MOT? ;)

Fortunately for owners of Lotus 7s and similar, no, you don't need doors. However if you do have them, they must be tasteful. :mrgreen:

I was thinking maybe of a Dolomite Beach Car, what you guys think? If it was good enough for the Mini and Elf...
