Is there anywhere else that somebody knows about that you can buy quality aftermarket , or second hand parts for MINI'S ? I'm after a good / new expansion tank for my daughters 04 Cooper S . Buying genuine was extremely expensive . |

Lindsay Siebler (minis plus) is the victorian fellow that buys all the wrecks, chase him up for used parts. |

Pelican Parts in the US has a good range of parts, OEM, aftermarket & some performance. I went down this road late last year, forget about another plastic tank it will only split again in years to come, I got an aluminium tank, painted mine in crinkle black. see here http://forums.mini-mods.com.au/showthre ... eader-tank (you need to login to see the pic) similar to this, http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BMW-MINI-WAT ... 3ccb2b895b |

Thanks for that people ,i have bought gear off lindsay before and was going to give him a ring , I do like the look of the alloy one , it's half the price of a genuine new one , do you know of anyone in Aus that sells these ? I didn't have too much luck on E-bay Aus , was only getting UK , will have another look . |

I have a GTT alloy expansion tank I dont use, flick me a pm if your interested. I hate the alloy ones, you cant see where the fluid level is. Only reason the plastic ones split is because they are over filled generally. |
