Anyone know where I can get a new one? I'm trying to bring my engine bay up to date and the expansion tank has gone brown and looks mank!

Hot water... Bleach... Bath tub... Few days refilling when cold and repeating, with a good scrub inbetween and whilst in it... Will start to clean up a little. I did that with mine, will never look brand new from the dealer, but it will look a bit more fresh.

£30 ain't to bad, I'd rather pay that than share a bath with it!! Cheers lads, dealers it is then.

@Kieran - Is there anything you haven't replaced on your car?

Wow! That's what they are meant to look like.
Eurocarparts has them for £25.

Seriously, I've replaced everything and anything I can.
I have an account with the dealer and I order by email if I can't get in.

Are they the same from eurocarparts or do they look different? I want it to look as original as possible.

For the extra few quid, go with genuine from the dealer.brettE30cab wrote:Are they the same from eurocarparts or do they look different? I want it to look as original as possible.

There are two types of expansion tanks. The ones in the photos on this thread are from update models.brettE30cab wrote:Are they the same from eurocarparts or do they look different? I want it to look as original as possible.
The early ones are more rounded without the ribs.
You will never get them clean and clear again...been covered a few times on this forum.
I picked mine up from Pelican Parts for about US$30
