Well,
After going through my third pressure bottle on the XJ I've decided to overhaul and upgrade my cooling system from a closed system to an open system without the pressure bottle and just an overflow bottle and a cap.
Mine is a 90, the changeover year was 91, so some 91's had the closed system and some the open. So I bought a 92 radiator with the filler neck (cap) and a 92 heater control valve (vacuum activated). It completely eliminates the pressure bottle.

It seems like a pretty straight forward install and I'm working off a writeup from another site. So, has anyone done this and if so are there any pitfalls I should be aware of.
Thanks
