Had a slight coolant leak due to the coolant bottle cap being cross threaded so got a new bottle and cap which seems to have sorted it. Unfortunately failed MOT for headlight alignment, weirdly horn not working and the usual brake efficiency. Nothing major so all sorted for another year, not...

Just for info Meyle coolant bottle comes with a cap and fits, part no 16-14 223 0000.

This is up on FB marketplace

Does anyone have the part number for a good alternative? Mines been changed at some point and feels like the cap has cross threaded on it and not sealing. Noticed a small drop every few months so think it's leaking.

That's perfect thanks

Can someone take a picture of the door or measure where the Cup badges go. Got a set of the Evilspeed copies and want to make sure I get them in the right place.

I just took mine to SWR in Stirling to get the belts done, Cup with air con so but more expensive.

I'm near Glasgow as well, need to have a Cup get together once you get yours

febi bilstein 24341 washer pump fits the Cup

That's the belts done, can't believe it costs so much now. At least it's every 5 years 😭 You were right, inner cv boot is goosed. Garage waiting for part so will just leave it there till it's sorted.

Yeah that looks like what I need, will ask the garage to double check and sort it

Possibly a drip from above? Belts due in 6 months so prob just get it done early and get them to check the leak whilst in.

Noticed a small puddle on drive and found the culprit. Looks like it's coming from passenger side driveshaft, doesn't smell like cat piss though so think it's engine oil. Easy fix?

I think it's part number 7701056217 but can't find anywhere, tried a few random ones I had and can't find one that fits there either.

Went in to have a look around and they had a old school 5 in there, crazy seeing the size difference between them. A290 feels a bit SUV like being so tall.
