Discoloured expansion bottles look crap on my R500
Discussion
Yep, as above, I have this one https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p/mocal-oil-cat...
There are some square ones available on ebay for around £30, I had one for a while but it leaked so bit the bullet and bought a proper one.

OK, you can refurb the coolant expansion tank as follows:
Take it off the car and plug all the holes.
Put in a handful of gravel, some washing powder and a small quantity of bleach.
1/4 fill it with boiling water.
Put the lid on and so long as you are sure it won't leak shake it for about 10 mins.
Result: It looks almost new again.
Rinse thoroughly before refitting!
