Default Expansion pressure cap

I am going to buy a new expansion tank pressure cap and have seen one on eBay. Part number is ESR1480 which is correct for our cars but the part is listed for a Range Rover Discovery 2.

Just want to make sure it's the right part. It has 140 on the yellow disc.

Its this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Mornin' Ian,

Checked my tank yesterday as per Lates orders and noticed it had 140 on the cap, not sure about the Discovery bit but a lot of parts were common across the range.

The 140 bit is certainly correct (140 kiloPascal pressure).
