yeah forgot the weather is so bad, i havent driven the car in weeks, so ill keep the washer. Managed to squeeze the tank in, my engine bay is really full of stuff now, how come other peoples cars seem to have hardly anything in there???.

relocate the battery and use that space. Or do what Jim did and fit a clio (or some other french car) washer bottle behind the firewall....

im just going to be using a diet coke bottle mounted near where the battery was :D

Shhhh, thats suppose to be a secret, :roll: :wink: lol.

I got an 03 Clio windscreen washer bottle. I think it was around ?25 from Renault, bit pricey, but it fits behind the firewall. You'll need to make a base for it to sit on. I keep meaning to do so. I'll probably just cable tie it in place though, lol.

Why not try a local scrappy and look for a 1.0 Nova washer bottle. They are smaller and can be fitted behind the firewall too I think.
