Pete, thanks, like your installation, if my tank fails as martins did I know what to look for!

I spot an aluminium radiator. Is it a Wards rad, and do you notice a difference?

Hi Mike,

Yes it's the Ward's radiator - not had many miles on it yet but so far it seems to run a lot cooler. A good hot summer and a traffic jam on the M25 will no doubt be the ultimate test!

Mick Ward tells me that the silicone hoses should last a lifetime - they also supply a header tank kit with custom hoses.

Very nice Mallardstag but I hope you're going to fit some hose clips, Terry

Looking at your set up is the overflow to the expasion bottle diverted to the new tank and if so do you no longer require to 'tap in' to the heater supply line?

Terry - This isn't my car it's a picture from EJ Ward's website but yes, I agree hose clips would be good.

Peter - I think that looks like the case, but your should check, more details are available here
