My tank looks like yours, any nearly every 206 I've ever seen does too lol, they go quite crappy looking tbf, The green one also looks over-filled to me.
Anyway, the green one probably had a recent change, so the colour is still fresh as it hasnt been around the system much.
Just check the coolent level with a tester, if it's got the right mix in I cant really see the colour been too much of a problem.

Its just like in the picture of my engine bay at the top, the bottle is murky and the coolant is brown, but the car runs nicely so I wouldn't imagine any head gasket failure
Cheers Ste, I'll get a little tester then  Is there a specific grade brake fluid I need to use when I top up?

Yep same 'induction kit' at the 16v 1.4 Very interesting that its fly by wire, were the JPs different?
And yeah thats what I thought, I can save my money doing it myself and then only have to pay them for the big stuff like cambelt etc

I had a look at the coolant today too, with one of those testers. I think mine was faulty though because it didn't have a 'float' in it like the package said it should
Nonetheless the coolant is green, its just the bottle that is discoloured thats all. No mayo on the oil cap so it's all good
Just a nice paper filter will do for the time being
Is there anything I should look out for with fly-by-wire?
