cheers for that info
i also noticed the tank securing screw were missing
no idea if that would cause the seam to come apart
had some work done at the local LR place .. front offside inner cv boot replaced
maybe they had to move the tank ? ..
in any case it's done similar mileage as the prev. tank ..
( but then .. i didn't replace the cap .. used the old one )
and the old one cracked around the filler cap ..
( no cracks around cap on this one )
will have a new tank and cap sometime early this week ..
for now have reinforced the seam with cable ties .. tank aint leaking coolant
( there've been no coolant loss .. or coolant running hotter than normal )
even so .. am avoiding driving 'till the new tank arrives

I saw a suggestion on here about using a VW coolant tank/bottle, I think they're cheaper too!. When mine goes again that's the path I'll go down and I'll use the old cracked bottle to make the cradle to hold the new VW bottle. Those caps come in a variety of pressures too so you could go to a 115Kpa cap?
