My home-made expansion tank is actualy a stainless steel "tea caddy" from Wilkos - call me cheap if you want, but its nicely polished and saved me about £60 on a polished ally one!

I'll be at Harrogate if you want to take a look. Q plate blue Sumo with stipes.
Slider nice one "Wilko" my wife loves shopping there and cheap, but thats the only advantage on my bank account & credit card. Why is it Women cant stop shopping and spending money on crap I don't need cause you already have one I bought earlier!!!?

Glad to see some one on this site is improvising Osgood :thumb:
