same pump will be fine just need to make sure its full lol as will need to fill the hose with water but once that is be same response as being up front :mrcool:

mines going on the inner wheel arch when i do the flip front


Yer nice idea :dozing: .

Fit a one way valve near the washer jets, and it will keep the water from running back into the bottle, therefore the pump is doing exactly the same work as if it was mounted under the bonnet. Mine works fine.


Thats a good idea, should be able to pick on up cheap :D .

MOSS do quite a cheap one, just for show as it's not FIA approved..

Nice one! :D

Let me know how that washer bottle goes, I'm thinking of mounting mine either in the boot or in one of the rear bins.. not sure how the pump will cope with the extra distance though.


stick a 1 way valve near the pump and the water won't syphon back,
so you'll have instant washer :dozing:
