If you pull to fully extend the washer mate, you will see the cylinder holds it with two little clips, a bit foglight wiring connection for example, just pull it out and you will see :)

Nice updates dude, where did you get those indi's from? they look smart :thumbsup:

They were an ebay search away from me mate :lol:

aaah man i proper love this. Sell it to me!

How can you say that when you have that TT! and had / have? a Polo fella :lol::oops:
