Joey, My records do indicate that it has been replaced.
Leading evidence: 'Replace joey, my records do indicate' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check date code' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

Not related to the coolant reservoir, but check the date code on the spare tire.

I am stuck replacing my coolant reservoir, in the worst way.

As long as my Indy is in there, are there other things I should replace like hoses etc.?
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I've got a 99 C.1 with 82K mi. It is not a daily driver but gets exercised about once a week when the weather is nice.
Being a pilot, I am a big believer in preventive maintenance on items that can cause big problems if they fail.
I see a lot of chatter about the coolant reservoir and how it can get brittle, so I am going to replace it for no other reason than piece of mind.
As long as my Indy is in there, are there other things I should replace like hoses etc.? Anything else that will be exposed that they shoiuld take a look at?
Thnx
Depending on when your car was built, there had been some coolant hose/line updates implemented on the assembly line to address issues. My early '99 had the original style still intact and the hose was badly deteriorated due to the proximity to the headers. The new parts fix this issue. See this post for more info:

Not related to the coolant reservoir, but check the date code on the spare tire. It�s probably no longer reliable or viable.
The 99 has an external fuel filter that might not have been changed in a long time.
I am stuck replacing my coolant reservoir, in the worst way. Cant get the old one out, nor can I get it back in. I have lowered the engine as far as I can, I think if I could jack up the car, put stands under it, I could get the engine lower and that may solve my problems. Or, I have it as low as I can get it with out taking more apart. It looks to me like the bottom of the tank is hitting the intake manifold. I have disconnect the fuel line, the coolant lines, secondary air pump is removed.
Its the very bottom right hand corner.
any advice?
Thanks
No specific advice other than trying to wiggle it with little but rapid movements as if you'd vibrate it loose in order to refit or re-try removal.
And...don't give up! Others with practical reservoir removal experience will chime in eventually. It's RL after all
