I removed the bottle and pulled back the sound proofing. Then carefully pushed a screwdriver through from the cabin with the cable taped to it. Its an utter arse to get your hand up behind the matting in the cabin, but an easy enough job.

I cut the grommit slightly, taped the cable to a wire coat hanger and pushed it through. Job done!

how do you remove the bottle?

is it easy to push the cable from the bonnet side to the dash?

I didnt need to move the bottle as mines only a 1.4 with loads of space! Sorry cant help with that, but its probably a bt easier if you have a mate to either help pull it through or to push it from the engine bay through to you.

I am having the same issue here on my Mk1 172! I have located the Power Steering resevoir and can see how you guys get to the grommet, but how do you remove the bloody bottle? It looks as though there is no screws or bolts holding it down, but it wont budge!

I can un-clip the top securing tab, but cannot see how to budge it!
