Small screenwash bottle?

I'm looking for a really compact screenwash bottle with built-in pump. The smallest I've found so far is like this one:

Bott le

But it looks even this one will be a squeeze.

Does anyone know of a smaller one? I really won't need a huge volume in the Locost...

Looks very much like the one on my car which now lives under the boot cover as there was loads of space.

Mini/MGB setup is pretty small and might be easier to find space for despite being an external pump setup.

MGB bottle

Bracket

External pump

Described to me as "the colostomy bag type"!

Those MG bits that iank suggested earlier - I presume that they lift the water out of the bottle? Most of those pumps don't like running empty, so how far could the pump be from the bottle?

Yes it's got a non-return valve in it as well iirc.
I'd put the pump next to the bottle, but I'm not sure if there's any maximum distance requirement but 6-12inches doesn't seem to cause a problem (having had a quick look around goggle images at installations).

IVA requires the resevoir to have a capacity of at least 1.0 litres.

SVA was done over 4 years ago, so that doesn't worry me at all!
