I'm going to struggle to find somewhere to mount an expansion bottle, silly as that sounds... but BMWs have the expansion bottle built in to the radiator.
perfect

will a radiator off a E30 318i work? will it cool properly?
i've got (a broken) one in the garage, looks a bit small, but would be ok to fit.

does anyone know the dimensions of the radiators out a 320 or a 325 E30?

and E36 sizes if different

My polo rad is fine, with a corsa 1.4 expansion tank smallest i could find, same as you struggling for space.

is that off a 1.1 polo or something about that size? i guess the 318 radiator might work ok then. since the expansion bottle's built in, its even better

perfect! cheers nigel
should help me find a good one

Does the expansion tank not need to be the highest point in the cooling system?

Because o the very nature of thelocostshpe this would be impossible to achieve with a built in one.

ah, you see, not a locost/7 job, so should be fine
