Just replaced mine due to the same problem, a new expansion tank is around £34 as you can't buy the sensor on it's own.

Either/or mate :y
BTW, before you shell out your hard earned for a complete new bottle& sensor, I would check that the sensor plug underneath the bottle hasn't come loose! Just pull off the metal sprung clip holding the bottle to the wing bracket, push the bottle in towards the engine by about 30mm to clear the locating rails & lift the bottle gently until you can see the plug & check if it's tight. If it is, you've just wasted 5 minutes, if it isn't, you've just saved £30+ quid! :y

That price was from a Vauxhall dealer. Autovaux weren't any cheaper.
