Being an Elite model you will require the one with a "level sensor" inside.

Around £35.00 from stealers,but they don,t come with a new yellow cap...just a black dust cover,so if you want/need a new cap factor in another £5.00.  Simple to replace and makes a world of difference when you next open the bonnet. :y..part # 90500223

Just noticed that about the sensor , so what do the ones without the sensor use for a low coolant level warning apart from steam coming out of the bonnet  :)

Exactly that ;D and the temp gauge.. And of course the weekly checks :y

I put caustic soda in mine and left it for 2 wks , still the same colour ..as its a spare ill try some of that toilet cleaner and see if it makes any difference . Just hope there's not a kaboom  :o  at night in the shed  ;)

Well another laboratory test on the coolant bottle  :D
Results in progress are in :

Seems a very strong bleach solution say 4-1 ratio has started to work its magic on the brown goo bottle ...significant cleaning and whitening in progress  ??? ;)
