My coolant bottle for the radiator is covered with orange rust on the inside. All the pictures I see of other coupes have nice white transparent ones. Can you clean them or do you have to buy a new one and if so where is the cheapest place to get one?

You can clean them

You need a bottle of red wine, a bag of rice and some water with a dash of bleach.

Remove the coolant bottle, blank off all the pipes with tape except the coolant bottle cap, pour in a cup of rice or maybe a little more then give it a real good shake, add some more rice and shake it up again then add the water/bleach and give lots more shaking.

Make sure you rinse all the rice out then sit back and admire your lovely clean coolant bottle with a glass of red wine.

Cheers Jimbo

if you see rust in the coolant bottle, i'll advice you to check the engine head

I see the Red wines the most important ingredient here then!!!

or pull out £20 and buy a new one, but you will need the red wine either way.

LOL Rog. Where do you get them from?

Is Basmati rice OK as it's all I've got. Do non turbos use different rice to turbos?

Wholemeal rice is better as it chocked full of wholemeal'y goodness

I think AA may still do them or failing that Fiat isabout £20-25 last time i checked... 19.sumfin rings a bell..

Rog sells them, easier than cleaning!
