Loosing the washer bottle top!

[cheese99]

On refilling the washer bottle I proceeded to drop the top down the front of the engine and onto the sump guard! Klutz! Fix? The top of a half pint milk carton from Tesco fit perfectly. Looks a bit odd with a green lid but what the hell.

Anyone else been so clumsy?

Had exactly the same thing happen with mine. I used a lid off a bottle motoroil, until I happened to stumble across the original top at the side of the road whlst walking home a month later!

I cannot tell you how pleased I am that I am not the only person in the world who has done this

Calling at Tescos on the way home to provide the parts for the remedial work

Yep - I've done it too ! Used the hoover to pic up the top from the depth of the engine bay though...

[whatever]

I've still got the original top on mine, but seeing as the bodywork is green, and semi-skimmed lids are green...

[Nah, it'll probably clash something terrible...]

I have a Sainsburys Semi Skimmed top on mine. A much better fit than the original and a great colour match for my Formula Red Tuscan.

(Original top disappeared by itself )

[leszekg]

Yep, mine popped off one day (either that or I left it off). Turned up 2 weeks later sitting on top of the engine!

I've got a bright orange child proof lid from a tub of multi vitimins! ( for no other reason than it fitted properly).
Do you think this will affect the resale value?

Dealers generally have a supply of spares... don't ask me how I know either! :-)
