Not sure of an exact make etc but I believe that Demon Tweeks etc sell them for about £60. You need one with approximately 1 litre capacity if memory serves me well.

I would be suprised if the blockage was coming from the swirl pot, they do corrode but they have a gauze filter inside,and this would then go through the main filter next to the pump. Have you tried replacing this filter? My swirl pot was very rusty on the outside but just a small rust spot on the inside.

The swirl pot is TVR specific, I had one made from Aluminium.

They are indeed special tvr. I asked RT and he said that tvr used a few different types. I had mine made by a friends friend from stainless steel. Been a bit busy so i still have to fit it. Mine has a T piece and a small connection (returnpipe) on top and a L on the botom. Couldn't find one in the demon tweeks catalogue, but maybe i didn't look that good.
