Someone who really needs one asap and who doesn't want to spend £50 at Vauxhall ::)

If you need summat yesterday, then Steve is the person to go to :y Gives a discount to Oofers as well, so that would be more like £25 :y

Those bottles can crack around the cap, leading to mysterious coolant loss...

Paid £45ish for my last one after Vat ::)

Besides, VX aren't open on Saturday afternoons/Sundays :y

As said, discolouration is only one reason to change them :y

It was one with the sensor :y Cap is separate and costs another £5 or so :y

Again, the caps can also fail as they contain a pressure valve :y

That's not so bad then, don't really fancy puting the old sensor out of what most likely Is the original from new in the current bottle. And AndyC will be cheaper still I'd imagine  :y

The level sensor is integral to the header tank and isn't designed to come out in one piece.  ;)

So does the new tank come with the sensor in place just needs plugging in I take it, Just the cap is an optional extra ?  :)
