Just to confirm.
We arent debating whether adding an expansion tank is an idea that has merit are we?
Isnt it a case of mistaken thread title...
Isnt the thread about moving the overflow to the washer location and use a cowl position washer bottle?
Cos if the threads about that, lets stop talking expansion tanks cos thats a useless conversation in this context (and in an mx5).
As for knowing that MX5s are called MX-5s. How would I know? My car doesnt have badges. Badges are heavy.

Okibi said: "Putting a radiator expansion tank in where the oem washer bottle goes...." and "The final piece would be to place an overflow bottle near the firewall too...." Pretty clear to me genius.

Depends on the definition of expansion tank, header tank and overflow tank.
