Did you manage without taking the bumper off? Any pointers appreciated.

Offside flipper off and a 'Gaffer Tape' patch, sorted!
I noticed that the bottom of the bottle was cracked when I took the flippers off for 'MarkCSL' to re-lacquer.

You can get to the motors from the wheel arch
here is the bottle with the bumper off it takes 20min to remove the bumper if you have the tools

Easiest way to get to that filler pipe is to actually take the indicator out

But yes you can actually take the filler bottle out without removing the bumper - it's the bottom trim arch that you remove - which is piss easy ( 2 plastic rivets, 4 x 8mm screws and it's out in no time.

It looks like I have found the problem...

I have put the pipe back on, thinking about it I should have tried to blow it through to make sure there was no blockage, I guess I will find out soon enough. It did look like the rubber seals on the motors might be leaking very slightly so I will have to look at these at some point.
