really useful, I have crack on the reservoir in exact same place. May ask between 2:14 and 2:17 the coolant has gone from the reservoir, did you remove this off camera or did you collect it as it came out the pipe you removed at the bottom? thanks!

I had the same crack in same place. I was told it was because I had an oil leak, so the engine overheated and damaged the coolant tank.
