My Elan failed its MOT today!!

[abmunro]

It failed on windscreen wipers and torn CV Boot.

Also the new expansion tank that I bought from ebay is cracked right around the middle.

I gave the old one away because it looked dirty, Am I correct in saying they come from a vauxhall Nova?

I recall seeing that they are from a Nova & also that OEM replacements are now obsolete.
I think the only replacements available have a weakness around the weld, or at the curve at the back/bottom. Several of our US members in particular have had problems with them.
I am considering an Aluminium replacement from Coolexperts. A bit pricy but less likely to fail.

I've had a look at Aluminium ones myself today..
