Lotus Esprit V8 GT 2000 cooling tank, what's it from

[lotus7dude]

Hi I am based in Nelson NZ and have a 2000 Lotus Esprit V8 GT with a split cooling tank (plastic), am I best to replace with a new plastic one, if so what was the donor car, or is it best to replace with an after market tank? can anyone help?

I expect it came off a small vauxhall or Peugeot but can't remember, check if it has a serial number or any info embossed on it and google it, it might help. I have an S4 but I wouldn't be surprised if they are the same as a lot of parts are interchangeable. I will have a look tomorrow.

Also, are you a dab hand with epoxy? It might be repairable.

Hi

The header tank in the V8 is from a Peugeot 205 GTI.

Thanks for all your help, I will check tomorrow to see what I can find here in Nelson or Christchurch. Cheers
