sorry to appear like a leach but another question......

I have similar mfl and have done the the same job couple of year ago, and I recall a bit of arm reaching and feeling around but yep grille off and have a grope about  ;D

I recall it just pushes into a rubber grommet hole - Pulling old one will make a mess as washer fluid comes out, but refill when new one in and job done  :y

Just remember to fit the new one with the correct orientation else magnetic float switch will not work  :P

The switch has a segmented flange (ooh er...) and only fits one way :y

Ahh, that's probably why it pi33ed water out first time I filled it  when I changed mine ;D - I recall the flange now  :o

I was also amazed that it only ever told me "Washer Fluid Low" just as the last squirt goes on the windscreen  ;D

PFL/MFL, probably easier to remove bumper, for the 5mins it takes.

FL, its accessible.
