Thanks. I found that one (attached picture). It is probably the same, and I can buy it at a shop in the town.
I suspect the current cap may be wrong. It may keep too high pressure.
Why did not water come out at the cap when the bottle was full? It is still strange for me.
Maybe to high pressure is needed to open the cap. Only the cap with the Peugeot number is right. It opens 2 ways. When pressure is above 0.7-0.8bar and when water cool down it let air in. This is important to avoid underpressure that can generate air in the sytem. You can test it this way just suck on it andd air has to come in. Not the most charming picture... I know I suck....

Ok, I see clearly now. If I want a Murena running like a clock, I have to suck! I suspect, that I have to high pressure in the system which may have caused the leakage of the hose...

What is in there now?
There is 88 and 82 celsius as far as I know. I have the 82 one
To tell the truth I did not check it. It worked before the restoration so I thought it is ok. But if there is a thermostat with lower opening point, it would be better I think. I will check mine next time. It was 36 C today here. Weather forecast predict 39-40 for tomorrow... That is extemely hot for this mid-engined car. In that climate you defenilely need the 82C one and if still problem make a switch to overrule the thermo-contact on the radiator.

And what about the top of the thermostat housing (nr. 06043)? Is it also common with other Talbot or Peugeot cars? Mine is a bit eroded at the hose connection. Maybe I should also change it...
The Murena parts book gives Peugeot number 1337.80 Not verified by me if it is corrrect. Bagheera Simca and Murena 1.6 give different numbers so it's not the same I supose.. That is all I can tell about it. Greetz herman
