| You will need to take out the right-side glove box (the non-locking one)- the expansion bottle and radiator cap will then be visible. The box is easy to remove, just needs a little care. Open the box, and remove the small crosshead screw inside at the back. Gently squeeze the sides together, and lift out the box. Replacement is obviously the reverse! If you need to add coolant, it needs to be compatible for an aluminium radiator.
Hopefully I've got the instructions right - more technical brains than mine may correct!!

| You can also see the coolant level if you look inside the front fenderwell/cowling as the coolant is in a clear tank with a HI and LOW level and it should be in between these lines. If you are looking at the SW from the front it in on the left side under the front cover just above the sticker with a VIN# and manufacturing info. |
