Hello again,
I have a 2000 Dispatch and trying to find parts seems nigh impossible.
I have just had to fork out £120 for a rubber pipe from main dealers.
After 3 hours I am totally googled out and flabbergasted...it's just a rad cap for goodness sake...( sorry for rant ).
Is there anywhere else I could find a new cap for the expansion tank other than a main dealer?
Which other cars is this engine used in?

Any help and advice much appreciated

Is it the same cap as this?

Your local motor factors should be able to get one. If not scrapyard. Its used on quite a few different cit/pug models iirc.

Hi,
Thanks for reply.
No it isn't, I looked at that myself, it's for a 1.9.
It's a plastic screw on type with the picture of a book on and F and O on the top.
I don't want to buy second hand from scrappy.

Oh and before anyone suggests, I have tried GSF and Eurocarparts.

Many thanks

It's under £5 from the dealer. There is a 1.4 bar one at £2.71 inc VAT and a 1.0 bar one at £4.43.

Hi reblack68,
That's a big Derrrr to me, that's what happens when one assumes dealers are always a rip off.
Many thanks for that, I think I can just about stretch to that price.

All the best to you
