I'm A Dick Head....

[LEE490]

Hey guys! Me being the dick head I am forgot to put the lid/cap back on my coolant tank/bottle and it is now forever lost. Tried supercheap and places like that but haven't had any luck. Any idea where I can find a replacement? Tried looking for a bottle around the shed with a lid that could steal but they have all been to big.

Here is a pic just so you know what I am talking about.

Try a masterspices spice lid

I have an overflow bottle you can buy. Otherwise keep looking. Perhaps a Clark rubber bung might get you by?

many times I have got the lids between a 5L bottle of demineralised water and the coolant overflow bottle lid back to front.. they fit fine!! not sure how well they will handle the underbonnet temps over the long term though.

Nissan is the obvious solution .... but get ready for the price - $27 from memory. Some numb-nut tightened mine so hard the inside of the top physically came apart from the threaded part over time and I failed scrutineering at a track day because of it. I used a demineralised water bottle lid temporarily, as stated above.

Ok cool thanks for the advice guys, will go see Nissan on my way to work and if its cheaper might try my luck at the wreckers.

If you try the wreckers, you may find that any Nissan (or possibly even other manufactures) use the same size/shape lid.

I used a milk bottle cap in my R31. No expense was considered!

$20.85 at Petrie Nissan. Thanks for the help guys now hopefully I don't do it again

I broke mine last year - went in the local Nissan dealer (after trying every lid in the house & shed & none fitting) and the guy had one sitting on his desk. Apparently they had a new reservoir that was broken, so he took the lid off before sending it back, just the day before. He gave it to me for nothing:)

They are the same size as an R33 (and presumably other Nissans).

Just Incase anyone else ever needs to know it is a "Cap Tank Reserv prt# 21712-79900"
