A kind bloke at the BNG advised this solution should eliminate the water pressurisation problem I've got. In practice, it means the water finds any weak spot in the system it can to escape from. Currently the fan switch at the top of the rad. I go through almost as much water and antifreeze as petrol!!

If you don't have a pair to sell, does anyone know where I can get them from / off? It seems likely they're Ford parts, but not 100% sure. Many Capri/Escort tanks seem to be single headers, rather than a pair as above.

The ones I'm looking for have a pressure cap on the main header tank, with a small hose at the neck of the tank leading to a smaller overflow tank.

Sounds more like a head gasket leak to me - have you had them checked?

They should be alright - there's no oil in the water or water in the oil. What's the best way to test them?

Also - what tank system does yours have?
