WANTED - New Radiator Cap

Arthur Quantize · 26th September 2008, 12:09

Any chance anyone knows where I can acquire a new filler cap from the top up tank for the radiator on a 1.8T Rover 75? I think mine has an intermittent leak on it. I've made a few enquires and they're on dreaded back order!

Cheers!

The part you require for 1.8T is
Part No: ESR1480 Cap-expansion tank pressure £9.99 + VAT

None showing on www.thepart.com either

Cheers for the part number and for looking, shame I can't get one!

I know Les has some used, but as you can't really guarantee their seal I'd rather have a new one.

Rimmers seem to be showing some as well as an alternative.

Good find David, Rimmers weren't on the Part.com lookup
Part No: PCD000080 was the old one superseded by the one listed above.

Excellent chaps, thanks once again... the plot however thickens...

After picking my pride and joy up after the MOT he said there looked to be a minor coolant leek on one of the O rings by the thermostat. They're going to look at it next week so it might not be the cap after all!!!

Oh what a night...mare!
