The radiator reservoir is onnthe far left side of the engine bay, largish clear bottle with (as standard) a pink coloured liqiud. The level should be between low and full when the engine is cold, it will be higher during operation.

Yes, provodong it is pure - tap water is OK for a quick fix when you are stuck, but otherwise I wouldn't. Most garages sell the pure stuff.

Looking into the engine bay to the left (my apexi intake you can see is where the stock airbox 'elbow' is...

As I said, the bottle with pink liquid is the reservoir.

OK just found it, its just below full and is pink. Ive never added anything and its still fullish, surely it should go down quite a bit in 18 months.

Not necesssarily - mine hasn't changed in two years. If the level is where you say it is, then it's fine.

It's a sealed system so it should never go down at all.. If it does then you have a leak, which needs fixing s;)

So yours sounds fine s:)
