RE: Milano Radiator Water level indicator

[White Anthony <anthony.white@domain.elided>]

I have a cork in mine, put there under the rule of the previous owner by the Alfa shop.  The previous owner was a chequebook mechanic, and I have a receipt from the Alfa shop that states: "Removed float from radiator overflow bottle.  Float waterlogged.  Replaced with cork."  Receipt is dated 1996.

Try replacing the float with an actual cork (assuming you're girly enough 
to drink wine) --that's what my buddy did on his Milano (75 V6) and it's 
been working for a year and a half now.
