Which expansion Bottle?

Hi all,

I have one of these that i have taken off the kit car

exp bot
exp bot


I want to replace it so that i have a nice clear one to check the levels & Colour etc. Ive found a picture which suggests (from the website it was on) that its a ford bottle.

Does anyone have any idea please?







Kindest Regards,
Richard.

I want to replace it.

I filled my old rover one full of gravel and whatever chemicals i could find at work, shakey shakey shakey for a while and left to soak for 24 hours, then into the dishwasher for a stint on 65 degree super wash, its almost like new now.

Nope, none at all other than an "E" and an S looking logo - more likely the manufacturer not the OE reseller.

Put it in a bowl of very hot water and SODA CRYSTALS & it will come up like new, got to be worth a go?

If you decide to go the new route, I can recommend that ebay selller.
He has allways provided me a first class service for spares to keep my Cherokee going

I have found that very hot water, fairy liqiud & a healthy dollop of bleach often works wonders on things like that.

Right, after spending all morning in the sink with a kilo of bicarbonate of soda in it, it has made a bit of a difference, but the gunk inside is greasy and wont budge. I could try some degreaser / steam, but for the effort i should really go for the new one.
