If it's the same as my old S3, it's ARH 259. For example...

Is it something like this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TAXI-LTI-TX1-TX2-CONVERS...

I've just got one like that for my S3, it was listed on the bay as a Scimitar GTE part.

Didn't realise that they had been discontinued ! Spent a few hours looking around various breakers today but no success. Trying to find an alternative maybe from an MGB has anybody tried that ? I know the mounting is different but it appears to be the same size only made from steel.

Triumph Dolomite one is identical aside from the sensor that isn't used in a TVR anyway.

I've seen some cars with ford item mounted around the swirlpot. Can't post pic as on iPhone it's the sierra kidney shape one I've seen.

Cheers S3

Just to update this, I replaced mine with an old MGB expansion tank a while ago as I've got a few of them lying around and it works fine. As has been said, it's pretty much the same design but in metal rather than plastic.
