Coolant Reservoir

I've recently found a massive hole in my coolant reservoir, (I now know what 'the bang' was!). I am looking to buy one a.s.a.p so I can replace it myself and see if that was the problem. I'm thinking there may have been a crack in it previous to this huge hole.

Thanks

I would be concerned as to why it went bang before you replace the tank

I would ask the question in the pitstop section.

That's exactly right yes, thanks Gos!

We're not sure why but we're having a family friend (who also happens to be an old mg/rover mechanic) come to take a look soon so he may find something else.
We're hoping it was just a problem with the tank/cap though!

It might be worth upgrading to the reservoir with the integral low-level sensor included in the kit you can get from Brown and Gammons, or Rimmer Bros.

This could actually be the ideal time to do this, nice suggestion David

I would imagine it probably was a faulty cap but best to be sure.

Thats a bit jammy, having a friend who knows his way round an MG, nice one :yesnod:
