Header Tank Alternative Part??

[glynherron]

Hi Guys

I've been loosing a little water over the past few months out of my S4s, but could not find the source. Well today I found it.

The outlet pipe from the heater tank to the turbo was leaking. It turns out that the plastic header tank its self has degraded and is leaking between the plastic and the metal tube insert.

Have I got to buy this from Lotus, or is this part used somewhere else?

On SJ's site, the part is listed as an SJ prefix, does this mean its used somewhere else?

Thanks

Hi Glyn,

Mine had cracked near the outlet too and I looked for AGES trying to find where they are from, in the end I had to pay the stupidly high Louts price.

My Expansion tank needs changing to but I accidentaly discovered that it is an old BL part available for about a tenner from MG Rover dealers instead of

Hi All

I had to replace mine a year or so ago,i think (although i am open to duff gen abuse) that the tank was from a Proton??

Thanks Guys

I'd better get walking round (Proton?) scrap yards, or do you think that the guy at Proton might just recognise the tank?
