lame question i know. :oops:

I'm just a bit lost with this.

i would like to use a electric one or a pump at least I'm' running out of room to fit a aftermarket one with a pump.

i don't really know how the original even worked, did it have a pump for the Windscreen washer squirters ?

Do i just attach a small aftermarket electric pump to the original bottle? from super cheap?

thanks for your help.
something like this below with an aftermarket pump?

is this what you guys do?

The thing behind the dash is a pump. You pump it manually.

Go buy a kit, you get a new bottle, leccy pump, switch and all. Mount it on the drivers side inner guard if you don't have a booster.

Mine is fitted in the boot on the drivers side, because I also have a kitchen sink under the bonnet, not that hard to run a 1/4 or 1/8 inch tube through from the back to the front and its easy to operate as well. Don't have to go too far for the power connection either about 6 inches........

I have a Toyota washer bottle and pump in under the LH guard. Also a pair of metal trumpet Fiamm air horns in there too.

Damn straight! I was using one of those pumps for another project and found that it was able to supply 14 psi....not bad for a crummy little pump I thought.
