Hi - As getting anything done here in Spain tends to take about a week (slow pace of life is one of the main attractions so I can't moan too much) and my expansion tank is broken I am thinking of doing the replacement myself. New tank is in at the dealers tomorrow.
Is this as simple as it looks? I have slightly better mechanical abilities than a muppet as I have opposing thumbs!
Loos to me like......
Take the old one out - two bolts connecting it to the chassis, three pipes (remove the wire clips and pull out?) and one electrical connector.
Bang it back together by reconnecting the above electrical connector, three pipes (back into the same holes with any luck!), put in place the wire clips and then bolt back to the chassis.
Fill to the 'pop up red fallus indicator' with water and green stuff, and fire her up for a few minutes - let her rest and check the levels again - top up as necessary and repeat until stable!
Jobs a good un!
Am I missing anything which may cost me lots of money and sole searching about why I did not leave it to the dealer!
All help and advice much appreciated - and double marks for sarcastic replies!
