Hi mate..Surely its just a standard radiator cap?..Either pressure or non-pressure..You have an expansion tank which normally has the pressure cap and generally the radiator has a non-pressure..ziga

Had a couple from my local radiator place for £3-4. Non pressure type. Just rubber on the back.

Mine are pressure caps (not flat ones). Although I do have about 8 left (V8 only).

Hi Adam, what should be fitted as standard? Mines has a flat non pressure type at the moment and it has started leaking.

Non pressure on the swan neck, pressure cap on the expansion tank

Look on the top of your expansion tank cap and there should be a pressure rating probably around 16lbs..Try to get one with the same rating, You can go a little higher by not too much as its the releif pressure..Ziga

On the subject of the swan neck (mine is off for a soak in soda to remove internal sh+*te) i notice how "deep" into the tube the filler cap housing protrudes......blocks off quite a percentage of the internal diameter of the swan itself.
Rad guy says it wont really affect water flow....but it is noticable !!
