The first car that I ever had with an expansion bottle was way back in the early 70s - a Renault 4. The bottle was just that; an overgrown jar made from Pyrex or the French equivalent, always crystal clear and you could see the water circulate so easily. I suppose the plastic version is cheaper to manufacture, even if not fit for purpose after a few years when you can't even see the contents without taking the top off and dipping a finger in.

Thanks guys for the help but I think I'm just going to go for a new one I've got plenty of little jobs to be done to get it ready for the billing show including a cambelt change so I wont have much spare time to give mine a good shake lol thanks again :y


Good stuff. I'm going with a cracked windscreen, rust all over, filthy engine bay, cloudy headlamps, corroded sunroof frame - but serviced, brand new front/rear suspension, new/refurbed brakes, mechanically lovely (ie: the important bits), but cosmetically manky. But she's still beautiful in my eyes, and come Billing 2016 she'll be mint (in theory  :D) work in progress.
