i just had a look and there is no grommet behind the washer bottle. I drive a 1.6 sport with AC. What do u drive? maybe it's different (or i'm blind!!)

Mine aint got A/C but there should still be a grommit. Take a pic of your engine bay and post it up, then i'll show you where it is.

i swear down i've had a look every where. The windscreen washer bottle is the one ur talking about right? i even looked behind the other white bottle in the centre of the engine bay. I'll take a pic and u can show me. All i've got behind the washer bottle is a engine lift sensor and the suspension.
thanks for ur help

The suspension is in front of the washer bottle.

I think you're standing the wrong way.

instead of running two power cables y dont u just run the one and buy a distribution block for the boot? ive got a 4gauge from the battery to a dist block, then 2 8gauge cables coming from the dist block to my amps! easier that way!

Good quality amps have ground isolation filters built in to get rid of noise,cheaper amps dont and you may have to buy a ground isolation filter,this goes inline with rca leads near the amps rather than the head unit.

now i'm lost. black rubber grommit behind the washer bottle?? But the washer bottle is next to the passenger side wing! so does it go through the wing???

Open your passenger door and pull the seat all the way back If you have a little shelf under your glove box just look above it to the back almsot inline with your head unit and u will see some wires coming out of a rubber gromit basiclly a rubber bung in a hole of the chasis. Its best to get a m8 to help you. If you look in the engine bay the gromit is to the left of the water bottle and and down a bit get your a mate to push the wire through and you grab is from the inside. if u know what i mean.
