Different part number but could be compatible....

Read the OEM part number and go to a good breaker. ( 20 Euros in Spain)  When you find one check inside that it doesn't have any signs of Radweld etc having been used. Mine had it, I foolishly looked on the web and put a load of rice into it and shook it around. Fairly Useless, It took me a day to get all the rice out. In the end I used Petrol.

Took me an entire day to finally get it clean.

Peter,

I have been looking for this coolant expansion tank for ages. My Jag garage says they can't find one. Did you have any luck ?

[Peter McGowan]

No I'm still looking Jaguar say on backorder,  but can't believe waiting for one part can stop me driving.

Try Barratt SNG, www.sngbarratt.com, part number varies according to VIN/LHD/RHD. Btw the catalogue for the S-Type is free. Excellent just as a guide. Very good comms.

Same here, nice car looks good in my garage but it can't go on the road for more than a few miles before it starts boiling and ejecting coolant due to the lack of pressurization in the header tank 🙄

Have you tried any of the specialist Breakers such as Eurojag? Perhaps it is time to get creative and think outside the box. I find it hard to believe that the S-type header tank is unique to the S-type, especially when Land Rover was under the same roof and both were part of the Ford empire at the same time. Parts Bin engineering is renowned within the Ford Group.

Last year when my header tank went, I looked on EU eBay sites , New ones for 100 E plus.

Lithuania is often a good source. But found mine in a local breaker.

My local jag garage ordered a tank from the Spanish breakers but unfortunately when it arrived it was for a Left Hand Drive car.

I have looked around the internet and at first glance there appears to be quite a few coolant header tanks but they are all of slightly different designs. They all say S-type jag parts but when you dig down the details don't fit. My car is 1999 and the advertised tanks all start at 2005......

Check the OEM number on it.

From the Barratt catalogue, 3.0L I have for up to VIN M45254 RHD XR816503 and from VIN  M45255 C2Z13764 But they don't quote LHD or RHD. However yours should be in the earlier group. There are no pics or diagrams to help.

Hope this might be of some help. RHD breakers might be a bit thin on the ground, SA, AU,JP, and Cyprus.

BTW have you tried Barratts?
