Incidently this product is actually a good upgrade for the stock item for improved reliability too. As you know the stock item leaks /splits sometimes. The worst example we've seen was an (unmodified) MCS that came in with a head gasket failure last year. On attempting to remove the header tank cap, the top half of the tank came off in my hand ! -It had completly detached itself from the bottem half

-I'll try and dig it out and put a pic up of it.
Oh.. and there will be a matching relacement oil filler cap too. (complete cap not a cover)
Best Regards Roland GTT

So this part has also been known to fault, as well as the heater matrix. Very interested to see how the coolant system holds up when you are using your electric pump - have you used it yet?

Can you do the expansion tank in powder coated red? (it's my theme for anything connected to the cooling system) anything air based i am trying to keep as blue.

Cheers,
K.
