Lost my coolant expansion tank. was created by lukeyblunt
Hi all,

Just popped my bonnet to check up on her.. and saw a hose dangling.
Not sure how long I've been going without this bottle (the one with the green cap) .. but nothing major has happened.. yet.

Any suggestions on a quick fix as I need this car all week round!

I'll also be looking to buy a new one so if anyone has a spare /breaking a Jim.. I'd be extremely happy to buy this part.

Seriously considering buying one of those 'honk if anything falls off' stickers. (I've always thought they were just a joke!)


Thanks chaps,

Luke

Any bottle or a coke can will do until you can get the correct bottle.

Ha, ha. Of course it depends what coolant you've used, but if the contents look like apple and blackcurrant or smurf piss, great. If it looks like Robinsons Orange Barley Water, you're fu.... :ohmy:
