Got my mini back on the road this morning all taxed and tested

Running well but one thing needs changing if anyone can help.

I need a header tank for the radiator on my mini,

Mine has split slightly.

Engine is a 1999 1.3i

has anyone got a spare one lying around?

am willing to pay and collect.

preferably near st austell/truro area

many thanks

lee

Does the header tank go under the passenger side wing?

If so I think I may have one.

glad to hear you got the mini back on the road.

cheers,

ash.

Rather crude circle drawn by me

Its just to the left of the passenger wing.

i would imagine they are a universal size?

Feel free to look at my shiny painted engine bay too

[AshW]

Ah right i dont have one of those

cheers,
ash.
