Thread: Expansion Tank?

Murphys law,
If you buy it you'll probably never use it,

If you don't buy it you will need it 1 day!!

Seen a few alloy expansion tank's about. Fit one of those and you'll never need a spare.

Once the original black one has cracked and been replaced with a white-ish one, I then personally wouldn't worry about it again.

The original black ones are known to split, but I haven't really heard of any of the replacement white-ish ones breaking.

If you do heaps of long distance outback journeys then it maybe worth carrying the spare, but again I would not really be too worried about it.

If you don't have spare hoses, they'd be a better spare to carry.

He's right don't buy the black coloured one they split in time.

Thanks everyone for your opinion greatly appreciated, the disco currently has the original black one on it and so I might go hunting around for the clear / white one that has been mentioned and replace the old one. Have also just ordered a new set of hoses and that should take care of a few things

How good are the grey ones? I have one fitted to my D1 facelift. Could it have been replaced already?

I had a black one in mine and swapped it for a opaque one, kept the black one for a spare. still in good cond.
Try TRS for a spare, they sell them new.

My original black one split and cost me a cooked engine, but no probs. with the replacement white one.
