I've done a search and can find plenty on swirl tank caps, but can't find anything on where to get hold of a replacement swirl tank. Could anyone point me in the right direction? (S3, if it makes any difference)

(I am calling the swirl tank the metal vertical cylinder, not the clear plastic expansion tank.)

Any help would be much appreciated.

I got a shiny alloy replacement made by AH Fabrications (01432) 354704, took them a couple of weeks but they have done a really nice job. You would need to give them a diagram showing the dimensions and where the spigots are etc. (Don't be tempted to use the design I gave them for mine, it's for a modified cooling system.)

There is a company based in Blackpool that makes them....

It is a TVR special.
