lorca Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Why do they fit such small water containers for the windscreens on the 110 defenders........has anyone changed over to a bigger one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Yup, change to the later underwing washer tank, that'll solve your problems I run both so I have lashings of water for the washers HTH Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WALFY Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I removed the standard wash bottle thats bolted to the inside of the wing and fitted a newer 1 that sits inside the wing and fills the gap from the rear of the n/s headlight to the front of the scoop for the heater. Fills up the gap completely. Will post pics if you require them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Same as Mo has done to his truck, I supplied the parts cat pictures to him. this version of the washer container Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Ahm, OK lorca earlier washer bottle as in Ralph's pic and Walfy's description above. Ralph, you really are too soft, you'll get a reputation, you know Dirty picture to illustrate Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Having 2 washers bottles is just plain greedy LOL, Thought I already had a good reputation for supplying good info to you guys/gals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saves me taking a pic now . For some reason I had problems drilling the holes to mount it. Prob me making the job harder than it really was. This setup also gives you 2 pumps at the front so you can do away with your rear tank if you have 1 or double the volume of water on the front screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streaky Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Here you go Ralph. Nothing really technical, I fabbed a bracket to suit the Disco I bottle, extended the water pipes and electrical connections and filled the thing up with water and glass cleaner. Please scooze the dusty engine bay.....I havn't driven it in three weeks....during which time we've had some massive sand & dust storms. My plenum air inlet has been changed from left to right...this might or might not make a difference to the space required. Plus...I moved the aircon box inside the cab to get better effect. I'm not certain of the volume....four litres maybe more. Quite alot though. Other than that...I don't see any issues with fitting a bigger water bottle into a Defender. Regards. S.

western Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Cheers Streaky, might not fit my Tdi bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonb Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Cheers Streaky, might not fit my Tdi bay Won't fit in a Defender 300Tdi bay as the air intake plumbing is in the way, also the Tdi is taller than the V8, so cylinder head also likely to get in the way. On a 200Tdi, engine is closer to bulkhead so even less likely to fit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Yep, my existing one is good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
