GT Headlight washer access

[schell70]

So, as I've got plenty of time at the moment I started to tackle some of the minor niggles on the GT - starting with a non squirty headlight washer. It pops up but nothing comes out, no leaks underneath or anything. Doesn't seem to be the jets because if you pop the cover off and remove the plug on the end no water comes out still. Assume it's blocked in the mechanism somehere.

Is it a wheel off, wheel arch liner removal to get to it? Just asking before I do it !

Cheers to all those hiding in the garage

Well, in case anyone wants to have a go I did this today - Ironically I fixed an MOT fail on the day they suspended MOT's for 6 Months

BTW it is an absolute PITA - remove the wheel and wheelarch liner, then remove the splash guard, then remove the fog light - spend ages figuring out how to release the washer from the bracket, realise you need to drop the bracket but one allen is seized!! Manage to pull the washer out of the bracket and catch the spring as it flies across the driveway. Ultimately it was the white plastic valve in the bottom of the washer had seized, a quick poke to release it and a clean and bobs your uncle! Then put the whole lot back together again.
