Well, OK - ERA more than likely installed the current reservoir in the late 80's (they built my ERA in their shop) and it does have a float that is connected to a warning light. Lately, the float keeps coming off so naturally the light is on.

I can easily take the float off and disconnect the light - done. Therefore I've no need for the new reservoir ordered and received from ERA - besides at $70 plus almost $20 for shipping - YIKES. Anyway, I'll be paying a 20% re-stock as it's returned to ERA, but that's life since ERA is an entertainment company, not a car company - stuff just cost more.

Anyway, thanks so much for all the input.

PS: what I do find strange is that I can't simply ask for and receive an exact replacement part - research seems to indicate that the current unit is from a BMW 2002, but that's not a sure thing. This is the first time since I purchased the Cobra over 10 years ago that I've ended up with no satisfaction sort of like the Rolling Stones song.
