Hi guys.

I did a bit of a silly schoolboy error!

I removed my filler neck and expansion tank- but forgot which way it sits in the arch a˜³a¤“

Any pics or help would be grateful- the hoses are connected just a matter of putting this thing the right way round.

Oh the screw that holds in place has rusted away too.
