I nipped to Asda on Saturday evening and decided to take a look under the bonnet, as i usually do now and again, lol.
The lid on the expansion tank had the spring sticking from the lid. Is this a safety catch or something? Problem is that it broke the lid in the process.
Does this usually happen?
Coolant level is normally just below 'max'
Never heard of that happening before :S
The header tanks usually give way when the coolant gets too hot or boils

I changed the actual tank for a new one last year but kept the screw lid.
