To replace the windscreen washer reservoir on a Ford Focus, first, position the car on a lift or on a flat surface, securely immobilised. The first operation is to open the bonnet and remove the bumper (these operations are not shown in the video).

Once completed, the windscreen washer reservoir is located in the corner of the front of the car. Now, using a screwdriver, disconnect the electrical supply, which consists of two connectors, from the reservoir and detach the two hoses that supply water to the windscreen (after placing a bowl underneath the reservoir to collect the washer fluid).

At this point, unscrew the two bolts that secure it in place using the appropriate tool and remove it from its position.

For fitting the new reservoir, follow the same operations shown in the video but in reverse order.
