Coolant Leak

[Jakg]

Have a small coolant leak. Bottom of the expansion tank seems wet.
Best place to get one from?
Meyle on eBay for £31.45 but I'd ideally like one for Wednesday
Radiator is a little bowed too, though.

Yep, Meyle have a good rep on here. It's what I would go for.

If the Rad is suspect as well I would replace together with the Meyle expansion tank.

Took the fan out and the rad looks ok (albeit old)



Struggled to get the expansion tank out, but I also noticed the thermostat looks like it might be the problem.

Fairly certain what looks like a failed seal on the thermostat/hose connector is actually a failed o-ring seal on the temperature sensor (red circle), mine was. The small green o-ring perishes and coolant then leaks out and around the radiator hose. Just buy a new sensor as they're only a few quid
