I am looking to buy a new header tank for my VY SS ute and thought that as the Vauxhall Monaro uses the same tank I'll see if I could get one locally. I rang my Local dealer on the island and he kept saying Movarno and I kept saying No Monaro as in VXR V8, he said give me your chassis number and I told him it probably wouldn't be any use but tried anyway and he said your car is an Astra!
I was wondering if anyone could give me a part number for a header tank as per picture or a number for a Vauxhall deal that knows what a Monaro is as the guy I was talking to said they don't have a Monaro on there system.

Sure is Dave's old ute, I'm just sorting all the little bits and bobs out and had a few things to sort S/C wise hence it not being in the picture. I am just wanting to have a nice new clean header tank to match the new power steering reservoir I've just bought.

I don't see why not. IIRC they bought Stefan's old VXR8 from a Manx owner, so should be fairly happy with trading internationally. wink
