Not sure if correct forum section
But im back with more tales of woe from my T25 devon hitop
Expansion tank leaking.
Bought a new one online using reg number and checking the typw of vehicle etc etc..anyway this came but with different pipe diameters. The one on my bus looks like this (2nd photo) with thicker pipes....
Which one is the correct part?

Don't know the year of your van, but you need a header tank for up to 1985.

Thank you..do you know wht lube you can use to make the hoses go on easier? Wasnt sure whether washing up luloquid is a good mix with antifreeze

I fitted a new tank last week, the hoses went on without any difficulty.

As Marlin said you have been supplied the wrong tank you need this one.

For lube, I can see this going somewhere, I find a good mouthful of spittle on a finger and thumb does very well.
Yup yours is an early one, like mine.
