I've put a smaller one in my scuttle tray by fuse box with the filler coming through my carbon scuttle cover.

Boot, spare wheel well (if you don't carry a spare), scuttle tray.

There were others I searched on "screen washer bag"

I have one of those in the boot of my g40 as the original bottle now contains water & methanol.

It's makes a pretty poor windscreen washer really, I just have it for MOT reasons more than anything. I don't think the motor on the bag is really up to pushing water from the back t othe front of the car.

I've got one that fits in the rear quarter panel of a mk2/3. So its nice and hidden out of the way.

£15 delivered if you want it.

so behind the doorcard?

have you got a pic? :L

Was also thinking of doing this as, well the standard washer bottle is massive! I've seen it done on the scuttle panel before. Instead of the pissbag try looking at something from a nova or corsa there also in the scuttle.

I was thinking of getting rid off my 4L water bottle, I may invest in a bag...What about the Nova and Corsa water bottle>?

I would love to have a bigger bottle mine is only 2l.

the bags aren't very good.

The corsa and nova ones have the motors on the bottle and are quite small. Best thing to do is go to a scrap yard or ebay

Early mk2 ones are nice and small and fit in the scuttle nicely

no space at all in my engine bay for a 4l one :x I miss the 3.2l one in my old mk2.

Mines a rover mini bottle found for around the £5 mark anywhere really. Original pump fits straight in :) I'm going to be using the corsa b bottle soon though as mine doesnt hold more than a litre and a bit :/

Anyone know the best way to re route the wiring from the bay to the boot or is theres a specific relay i can route it straight from?

Does a corsa b Water bottle fit where the fuse area is, Is that what everyone means by a Scuttle?

Honda Civic ones are slim enough to fit in the rear quarter panel in the boot.

They even come with a seperate bracket,making them easy to bolt into said panel void.

Early MK2's had one there anyway,but they're not so easy to get hold of.

I should add i haven't done it myself (My MK2's 3.2L one is now a catch tank,but i've fitted the MK2F's 4L one too for the screenwash. I dont care for running a spartan bay, i want my screen washed on my long salty winter commute to work without having to top it up everyday).
