Thanks thailoz, steal away buddy that's what this site is all about.

Well I fabricated an expansion tank today out of ally and raised it as high as I dare.
It's approximately 200mm high by 100mm diameter with a 0.9 bar radiator cap which should leave plenty of room for the coolant to expand.
I'm hoping I got it right but if anybody can see a problem with it please let me know as it was a spur of the moment thing..LOL






I've run a 10mm ally pipe from the top of the rad to the top of the tank which I guess should eliminate trapped air..







Just need to order some coolant hose to plumb it all up now.
I've also been working on my electrics today and have the main fuse box in place and now routing the wires to the rear.
