so good it makes the oil filler cap look crap coz its all dirty/faded. should give that a paint too the oil cap isnt actually faded, its just got mega sun glare on it there, but i do want to replace it with a polished/chrome cap of some sort if i can find one.

to clean your overflow tank a bit, take it off with the cap on, turn it upside down and fill with vinegar. leave to soak, empty, rince andrepeat if needed, it will not come back to mint but it will clear the scum up a bit.

I bought a near new BA one from the wreckers for $40 (was immaculate) You are right about the Ford price ... the AU one was $135 when i last looked a few months back.

another good method is to put sand in it a give it a good shake, the sand will errode the grime a little bit
