Hi Guys

Anybody have a functional one lying about I can buy? Must be a few of you bought a brand new white one!!

Mines is dead and £400 for a new one is not appealing to me!

Cheers

Stuart

Just to add to your rant on the other site Stuart , why is a non turbo expansion tank £150 and a turbo expansion tank with just an extra spout £350 (Prices Rose passion) ? Trousers down and a Porsche spanking.

Good reason to run a dry turbo I say.

Yeah, and a fiver a piece if you order 50 then you've really got to ask yourself what the f'ck is going on! Scandelous.

I think £150 is a piss take, as for 350, recon you could have a alloy one fabricated for close to that

I just paid £100 for a new 996 tank from Porsche and its much bigger and has a purge valve built-in... it is odd.

Same with some of the fuel hoses and brake lines, crazy prices...
