expansion bottle for cooling system and yes it should contain water and anifreeze mixed to the correct ratio.

Sweetpea...you actually have two coolant bottles....the one you can see behind the number plate is just the expansion tank (overflow) and then the main 'pressurized ' tank (you will need to take your engine cover off to see this) on the left side on a petrol/watercooled engine.
The latter needs to be filled to the brim, 50/50 mix antifreeze/water, the one behind the number plate just to the max line under the filler cap, also 50/50 mix.
