Which expansion tank to use?
Davegtst - 9/1/11 at 05:09 PM

I need to get an expansion tank for my cooling system but not sure which one to go for. I want something that looks ok without being a strange shape and i don't want to pay for an ali one. Any ideas? What does everyone use?

mk4 Golf looks ok...

I got a rover 200/25 one, not a bad shape, quite easy to mount, i made a simple ali bracket for it, there should be a picture or 3 in my archive.

I got a new polo one for £13 off ebay. Looks nice, built in low level switch and easy to mount.

Later Renault Clio ones are OK

Expansion tank, don't worry i know the difference. The Rover 200 item looks good, nice bracket too Andy.

As said Rover 25 (not 45)

Nissan Note (also I think later Micra)

If you end up with a rover one, drop me a u2u and i can pop the bracket round for you to copy if it suits where you want to mount it mate, good luck
