5G rad & expansion tank

Post by Donald » Wed Oct 02, 2013 11:26 am

Where the banana is the max line on the expansion tank? Is it me or is it a PITA to tell?

Also 4G/5G rad, what are the differences? (If any?)

Pull the expansion tank up (it slides out of its holder) and you can easily see the max/min marks.

:facepalm: Cheers Merlin. Didn't want to pull stuff about incase it wasn't meant to, especially since I pulled something the other day and things came out of it. Not a euphemism btw. :lol:

It was hard but slightly bendy and ribbed, to a degree :?
