not sure whether the lid fits on the mini resevoir yet though to be honest, I use in on the volvo.  will have to dig it out and see

I know, it's not a cheap one but to be fair I've had it like 10 years now and used it a few times, it does make the job so much easier

 

does not fit all cars though, my mrs had a honda CRV for a bit and I had to go old-fashioned manual method on that one the lid was a completely different size

 

anyone know if theres a maximum recommended PSI, I know the bottle says do not exceed 28psi but should that be even less for minis/old cars, for any reason?

I use the streetwise one Euro car parts sell, I did have to use a piece of rag over the cap onto the fluid reservoir but it's cheap (circa £20)
