Could a very kind admin please move this to the correct section.
Does anyone have a non leaking washer bottle to fit a 98 elite estate.( i think its a front bumper off job).
If anyone has how much posted to Taunton, Somerset.
Many thanks, Mark.

Got one here from a facelift elite saloon. No idea if its the same or not tbh. :-\
-
It's for an s reg(98) 3.0 elite estate.

Deleted a 'dangle berries' answer from myself, and some from Andy B (at his request).

On prefacelifts, 2 sizes IIRC, Elite should be the 6.3l. Same across range I believe?
-
Except some dont have sensor hole...
-
I can take a pic tomorrow and post it so the op can compare if it helps. I really have no idea if they are the same,although 6.3 L sounds familiar.
-
Actually,iirc the pre/ mini fl tanks have a longer filler neck. I also have a vague recollection that the f/l version can be extended to do the same thing ?
-
The tanks for those cars with HID washer pumps are bigger. :y

It's a mod that some do so that the yellow filler car can't be seen though a facelift grille ... it extends to the slam panel.

Correct

Correct

Ah the return of the oracle. :) :)
So, will a f/l saloon tank be ok for a m/fl estate ?

depends on what I said above ..... ::) HID washers & level sensor for MID/TID/GID/etc ::)
-
Elite will have washers presumably and if the sensor isn't needed it can be left disconnected ?
I would imagine its question of whether it will physically fit and do the required job ok.

Is there any way to find out what I have without having to strip the front of the car.
-
It must have some sort of sensor as its telling me the level is low on the display panel.

you have the bigger tank due to HIDs so a hole for the high pressure pump & a hole for the level sensor
-
Face lift have a rubber grommet for the sensor hole if not fitted, so retrofit existing sensor to new tank (if applicable) :y

Pics sent via PM. Im not sure on the procedure for removal of your tank.I haven't looked under the bonnet of a non facelift car for years. Hopefully someone else can advise on that. :y

Alb's one should fit fine. You may have to dettach your filler neck and put it on Alb's one.
-
And MFL removal:
Disconnect battery (important - MFL fans are not protected, and may start at any point)
Remove Grill
Remove Headlight washer nozzles
Remove small trims under headlights
Remove bumper
Remove washer filler neck by pulling up
Remove cross member, with bottle attached
Some electrical connectors and hoses need to come off along the way, disconnect these when convenient.
