I'd suggest anything large in the boot. ie plastic 1 gallon container, usually used to hold beer etc.
Perfect excuse to buy a gallon of beer.

There's just room for a rear wash bottle from a Sierra hatchback behind the fuel filter on the LHS inner wing. (Assuming this isn't where your alarm is and you don't have AC.)

The trouble is it doesn't hold enough water.

I have a UK MY98 which has water spray jets on the headlights, I just diverted these from the existing bottle onto the intercooler via STi nozzles.

Just remember to only put water in your screen wash

Cheers

I think NM is right. I used my raer screen wash pump to do the TMIC spray. The bottle will last quite a long time. Only clean water remember.
Mark, if you drink all that beer you will NEVER go fast in your Scooby!
