in short, yes

lol, cheers.

i presume the brown looking cylinder thing is the water feed?

[RedexRobB]

yeah thats right, theres a pipe which routes from the left hand side of the radiator and down underneath the genny cover. Around there, there should be a take off for a pipe which routes upto that brown bottle type thing

nice one mate

[masterofinsanity]

ok, so what is the brown bottle type thing for?

[RedexRobB]

no idea Baz, i assume it could either be a filter or just a way of telling to see if the system is full as it goes the colour of the coolant you put in.

i always thought its a filter, mine was green tho

[masterofinsanity]

could it be a pump to prime the pipes??

[RedexRobB]

might be, not sure how that would work tho.

[masterofinsanity]

its only soft plastic aint it? i think i've got one at home i'll have a look over the weekend.

[rene]

nope mine was hard plastic, nout you could do with it. My CRM heater dosent have one tho

[RedexRobB]

scrap what i said it goes round the other way! The big pipe round the genny cover has a smaller one that routes upto the other side of the carbs, then then a pipe comes off from the bottle type thingy which then plugs into the back of the engine underneath one of the inlets. This picture shows it nicely, underneath inlet number 1 with the pin for the thermostat or whatever it is just in front of it

the plastic cylinder houses a filter. You should always open this up and take the filter out and give it a good clean when changing the coolant.

The colour of the cylinder will depend upon what colour your coolant is
