that is the overflow the rubber tube is too make sure it doesn't piss out all over the battery.
I would expect it has coolant written on it so people who are lacking a bit of under bonnet sense don't put oil or anything else in it (not saying you don't have any under bonnet understanding :) )

lol ok so this should never need to have filling up or any thing

no it when it fills up you MAY have a problem.

The header tank is where you check/fill the coolant level.

Well spoted lol

I know:) it has been like that since i bought it is a Juran item and i'm guessing it wasn't meant for the early cars (slanty tmic).

None of the garages i've taken my car too have said anything about it though so i just left it :)
