Hi all

My 30+ year old expansion tank has finally given up frown looks like there's a crack at the base, so when the car's up to temp and underload it's spraying coolant from the bottom.

Any suggestions on replacements & where to source?

Cheers
Jaye

Expansion tank shouldn't be under pressure, probably why its split.

Thanks Mike. I will take a look at the lower pipe connection once I get it out of the car...to make sure it wasn't just it wasn't tight enough.

Thanks for the link...will order if it turns out to be definately split smile

Cheers
