1750GTV: refilling the screenwash

Ok, hands up, this is the question of a cretin.

Despite owning my 1750 GTV for nearly 5 years, I have never refilled the screen was bag/reservoir. I've always found it perfectly refilled after the service. Maybe I don't take it out enough in really bad weather.

So...

Can anyone help me? How do I do this without breaking it?

Many thanks,

...from a sheepish looking David.

Just clip off the plastic top with the hose coming out of it, refill with screenwash to the top (Halfords do 5 litres of the stuff for about 6 quid) pop lid back back on...and never forget how to do it again

Sounds very easy but the top with the tube grows stuck - on very classic Alfas . I've never refilled in winter (never use mine November to April) but I would pour hot water over it and carefully wiggle loose the top with pliers. Perhaps, next time I refill the ostomy bag I'll smear it with some silicone or such.

Thanks both.

Spiderseries4, I thought as much. But Eric is right too....the top of my bag is stuck (that sounds sooooo wrong somehow).

I will have a fiddle, but at least I know I'm doing the right kind of fiddling.

Thanks again.

David
