There is a good guide in the guides section, me and my old man did mine in about 45 mins.
It is a pain mind you.

As I understand it (although I don't have any myself, thank god!) the one-way valves fail and then they leak by syphonic action from the bottle - somebody recommended fitting aftermarket one-way valves of a better quality, into the tubes...

That's the worse thing about them leaking, they drain the rest of the bloody washer bottle

Indeed, if the tester follows the rules... Xenons where present should be washable. But then how many chavs who fit them aftermarket onto their cars install washers? Unless they change them back pre-MOT... :S

I'm in two mind's whether to fit them now i get my car mot'd at renault so could imagine that they will be harsh on the rule's infact it might be worth getting a pre mot check
