As I have fitted a new radiator I am told that the factory fitted grey expansion tank cap can cause problems and I should get a green one,
is this a fact or just another myth ?
many thanks

Good question. If the grey ones are no good, why and where do we get the green ones from??? Thanks

PFV do them as well
1996 Olive Green 850 AWD - Follow the Project - Forged rods, 19T, big blue injectors, 960 TB, 3.25" MAF, Ostrich, 608 binary, arduino data display, active exhaust control with Focus RS tips, 320mm front brake conversion.
1996 Nautic Blue 850 AWD - Failed its MOT, now it's a donor for the green thing.
2004 Sapphire Black S60 D5 - The new daily hack.
I have a used one if anyone wants it - I replaced the expansion tank & cap as a preventative measure when I bought the car. PM me if you want it BTW They're about £12-15 from FRF, not sure about the full retail price.
Currently - '96 850R auto
Previously - '97 S70 T5 manual, '98 V70R AWD auto, '98 V70R Auto in Nautic Blue Mica with LPG (went to Germany!), 1996 850R Auto, lots of various 940s, 960s and a crappy 850 2.0
if pfv are selling genuine parts then it will be cheaper from me as they sell genuine parts at full retail price. The grey caps have been replaced by the green caps, and the green caps are better. i wouldn't panic over it in all honesty, but when replacing one you need to be aware that the new one will be green not grey.

Did you know the EU says that you can't claim that drinking water prevents dehydration. So now you know for sure what many of have known for years that the EU is run by a bunch of nutters.
I think they are about £6-7 from PVS = PnP @ £3 so your talking about a tenner all in :-)
thanks for all your advice I'll be investing in one soon just to keep a lid on it
( if you know what I mean LoL ;-).. )
