| RE: Expansion tank
Dan
Thanks for your e-mail and photo.
The set up on your Rover V8 is different to my Ford V6 and so I think I will try and use my Ford V6 radiator. My local radiator reconditioner says that the 2.3 diesel rad and the 2.9 V6 are the same overall size but the hose connections are clearly different.
The top connection should be no problem but the nearside lower (input) seems a b*gger to get to fit because of the proximity of the steering rack and suspension.
My top expansion vent comes off the engine thermostat housing in 10mm hose but the fill hose from the expansion tank is 15mm and I'll have to find a way of joining this 15mm hose into the bottom rad hose as there is no provision on the rad itself.
Thanks for the offer of the steel pipe but all my rad in and out hoses are 32mm.
Cheers
