Does the front bottle supply the front and rear windscreens, or is there a second bottle for the rear screen wash?

If so, where is it?

I don't have a rear wash/wipe.....yet.

Just wondering if I can add a new bottle in the rear to save me plumbing a pipe from the engine bay to the boot...

AFAIK the Type-R has the second bottle for IC spray behind the driver's side headlight where the ABS module usually is (Type R has no ABS).

They have both been fed from the tank under the bonnet for yonks now - circa 95 on...

The long pipe to the rear goes through the headlining & can get squashed/blocked - or if it runs dry can take ages to pump back through....
