Went to check coolant this morning, thought I'd remove the cap and look,
unscrewed cap and found cap internals remained in coolant res :mad:

Tried to remove internals ended up falling to bits fell inside coolant reservoir :(

Tried to locate new or second hand cap within a 100km radius, impossible even Landrover dealer didnt have one, he suggested an aftermarket one but make sure its 140 psi, I said "you mean Kpa" no "PSI" he insisted. :confused:

Tridon make a aftermarket one CL20135 ? which no body stocks...

Ordered new one for deliver tomorrow from karkraft.
Finally my eating chinese food with chop sticks payed off by using chop sticks to fish out internals in reservoir :)

Just for info.

Aftermarket costs about $12 each and genuine about $20. All from the UK and about $12 postage (takes about 2 weeks). Genuine in Australia was $45.

I just sold 5 genuine on ebay for $30 each delivered.

Regards
Andrew
