On the early Griffiths I believe it's Fiesta.

That sounds more like it, it's not the blue VAG expansion cap but the small white cap for the windscreen fluid.

Must be a common problem on these cars. Mine has gone for its own trip too. I have found the top of a plastic 5litre windscreen wash can fit on with a gentle push. To early to tell if this is more loyal than the standard item though!

there will be a part number on the cap probably something like 89ab prefix, if its a ford item.. As Griffter says, early cars used a Ford Fiesta type if you can read the full part number I can get the probably get ford model variant..

Beat me to it. Tescos milk container tops are a perfect fit. Choice of colours too!

Hi Mate,

Yes its definitely a Ford part but not sure what from. I would guess they are all pretty similar.
