I'm at a loss here.

The wife has a Merecedes A class on a V plate.

I can't for the life of me find the coolant expansion tank, and am now wondering if it actually does have one.

In the manual it shows it on the left hand side of the car at the front of the engine bay, but there simply isn't one under the bonnet. Didn't really want to take it into the dealers and look a complete plum, so I thought I could ask here relatively anonamously

Can anyone help please?

If one is fitted it should be on the right hand side as you face the engine.

Dumb question NO.
We had a old gent yesterday that couldn't open his bonnet.
Show me how your trying to open it my reply to him.
Standing at the front of his Merc C Class trying to pull the grill up.
Never even tried to release the bonnet inside first.

His first Merc didn't ask what his last car was.
