Was hoping to syphon out if poss Greg, think the mixture is to thick to use the pump as it is coming out very slowly and headlamp washer not working, don't want to burn out motor.

As far as I'm aware it won't damage your bottle and pipes but I would drain it then fill it with plain water then flush through the jets using the button then fill. I have read though if its left on paint work it can cause discolouration so wash your car ASAP if you used it on your windscreen.
Hope this helps

If you are going to start syphoning it by sucking into a tube to get it going, be very careful.

Could have been worse, you could have put screenwash in the coolant bottle.
Hose pipe seems easiest but clean up drive thoroughly as it's poisonous to animals. There was a load of cats being poisoned in Aviemore with antifreeze.

Oh dear! Reminds me of the time that my wife poured a gallon of screen wash into the hydraulic tank on my Citroen XM! It actually got as far as Somerset from Manchester before it started doing weird things. That cost ££££'s !
