I notice quite a few members have brass coolant filler plugs fitted. I seem to remember these were available from B&Q, but can anybody help me find the exact thing?

I think they were available from the spares service too at one point - worth asking Colin Taylor.

A standard male half inch blanking plug does the trick. Available from any plumbers merchant - or B&Q!! Can also get them in chrome finish which gives a great look. Replaced mine with one after the original plastic one burst under pressure, steam cleaned the bonnet......

OK thanks for all the replies, I like to keep a spare in the car with the plastic one fitted.

I had the plug through and it fits snugly, good looking chrome finish on it too
