Do you recognise this water bottle!
A few months ago I was in my local scrapyard, looking for a coolant overflow bottle (non-pressurised type).
Luckily I found one that was ideal - but, like a muppet, I forgot to note down the make of car it came from (Doh!). On close inspection, the cap
looks like it may crack in the not-too-distant future due old age, so it would be really useful to know what to ask for if I need a replacement.
Here's some piccies...
Anyone recognise this item? All I know for certain is that the donor was japanese, and may have been a Nissan - there's a logo on the bottle
that I think I recognise! 
Ta,
David

I know that! The words "Made in Japan" on the side are a giveaway...
I have that radiator cap - I just need something to collect the surplus and keep it until the engine cools...
cheers,
David

those types of bottle have a tube going to the bottom that acts as a syphon - as the engine cools a vacuum is created that sucks the water back in the
rad.

Got it!
Well, nearly anyway!
I couldn't work out what the little logo was on the side of the bottle, until I twigged it from another thread... it's from a Daihatsu.
Anyone know what their small (Escort-sized) 4-door saloons were called? Probably around 10 years ago, I reckon.
Cheers to all,
David

Daihatswho?
The Applause was almost exactly like an Escort. Is the only car they made larger than a matchbox I think  (no offense)

Phew - I thought that Steve's post was a Prelude to a load of car name jokes.
I would have had to take out a Civic action against him...

It wouldn't have come to this if you all had a bit more Charisma!

this thread has lost its Focus - Could someone please Escort David out of here - that would be Supra. Unless David wants to come to some Accord to
prevent us dumping him in the Marina.
