Coolant Tank/Reservoir

Post by BrianMcDonald » Tue Jul 09, 2019 11:04 am

Still got my Rover 800i late model 1994( 25 years ) but am now looking for a replacement coolant tank / reservoir as mine has developed a couple of pin holes in the top above the level marks. Have tried Rimmers but they say none available anywhere. So wondering if anyone out there may have a spare ( used ) that they may be prepared to part with ( sell ). If so please reply.

Volvo 850 or XC90 tanks are a popular alternative.

There's a thread on the Technical section.

What he said! ^^^^^^^ Can look very neat and the Rover cap is a straight fit as well. You can also use the Volvo cap too :

In my shed i happen to have a 7/9xx Volvo tank with the pipework on to connect into the Rover cooling system, the 7/9xx tank is more torpedo shaped but still works well.
If you're interested in that, drop me a PM - also i'd be interested in having your leaky old Rover tank, i think i've found a way to easily and cost-effectively weld aluminium so i'm looking into making some Rover shaped aluminium tanks. Need a pattern though! :wink: :D
