I need to replace my coolant level pipe as it's discoloured to the point where I can't easily see the level anymore.

I see the original part is now obsolete and the new part CM024101 doesn't have a max and min line on it. As I can no longer get one with the lines can anyone tell me the inside diameter of this pipe to save me paying £5 plus vat and carriage for what is essentially a short length of pipe.

I used some of that clear pipe with the fabric woven into it,not that easy to see through but easy to guest imate the level using equilibrium principle when looking at the tank, if it is about 30mm below the bottom of the filler neck then its roughly in the middle of the max/min marks on the level pipe

I had a look yesterday, make that 15 mm not 30 mm and the level will be in the mid point
