Default Helppp, broken down! Need header tank ASAP
Anyone got a header tank laying around near to Exeter? The neck on mine has just corroded through. Managed to limp home without losing much coolant but need the car mobile for work tomorrow. Anyoneeeeee?

Cheers

Is this a one off or are they all crap? The welds looks proper overkill from here...

I did see these but figured there'd be a potential weakness when mating the old header and this.. plus I bet one of the bolts is seized in

I'm sure will be better than stock though. Got mine for £114 off Amazon which seemed cheap compared to other websites scoobyworld, demontweaks etc at @£150+

Usually 100% coming apart never any problem sealing them.

Ok so on the advice of the forum I cancelled the mishimoto one. Trying to source the bachelor racing one now but no one has them in stock (with the screw cap). Watch this space

eBay and get a decent used metal or plastic one. Make sure it is a Newage one. The metal ones look similar but the Classics have a different angle to one of the outlets plus the underside is different and won't fit the mounting bracket. Just replaced mine. £24 on eBay and it's in great condition too.
