Has anyone got a spare radiator header tank or know where I can get a replacement. The tank sits on the top left side (passenger side) of the radiator and has a cap fitted to it.
Thanks |

Wreckers want $105.00 plus postage and handling for something that might only last 6 months. New part is $200.00 which I think is a bit steep for a piece of recycled plastic.
The after market bottles are not appropriate, I have looked at fitting a Ford AU bottle but no-where to fit under bonnet. |

way over @ $105 I agree
depending on where it is broken are you any good at working with a fiberglass repair kit (does bond with plastic) I ll keep a look out for a person wrecking a V6 ----which state? make a post if you find one _

I bit the bullet and bought a new one, hopefully it will be good for another 12 years (if I'm lucky).
