Citroen Zx Washer Bottle Removal?

[Rob Thomson 6]

Hello all,

 

Just spent an hour on the phone to my father who's been trying to remove the washer bottle from their ZX without any success. Sounds like he's removed the wheel-arch liner and moved everything out of the way, but can't make it detatch from the car. He's probably being rediculously gentle with it, but I wondered if anyone on here has any experience they might like to share?

 

Many thanks, Rob.

remove the filler neck in the engine bay by unscrewing it, and IIRC there are 2 10mm nuts either side of the bottle.
