I currently have my intercoolers off my UK spec car and have recently removed the charcoal canister on the passenger side. I was wondering if there are any viable options for swapping out the huge UK spec washer bottle that sits behind the driver side intercooler? I have larger intercoolers so a little extra space would behind them be ideal.

I guess swapping for a JDM spec bottle would mean I lose some washer function? 2 pumps Vs 3?

Thanks

I did just that with a JDM washer bottle.  I used a Honda Stream head light washer pump to keep the headlight washers (required for MOT).

Amazing info. Thank you! Just what I was hoping for.

This might be naive but how did you tap into the bottle for the Honda pump? 

I like the idea of keeping all 3 washers, even if the headlights are never used and are just an MOT checkbox.

Nice work there Andrew - very tidy indeed!!

My headlamp washers stopped working a while ago - I have a spare motor but thus far never got around to fitting it. It's never been a problem at MOT time though, I read somewhere only cars first used after 2009 need their headlight washers functioning, if fitted.

Still, now the weather has improved, I might just do it - I hate having something fitted, that does not work.....?

I used the fitting from an old Hozelock garden sprayer. But something like this would do (to suit the internal diameter

of the hose going to the Honda pump).

One word - Genius.....!!

Just wanted to say thanks @AndrewG. Took your idea for mine and implemented this a little while ago...
