Decided to change oil and filter yesterday, so opened the bonnet and started her up to get the oil hot.
Saw steam rising from the radiator area and discovered a leak in the silly little expansion tank (bottle) that's part of the rad.
OK, I thought, no problem, I'll change the rad for the one I won from the 1600 DGT a couple of years ago.
When I eventually managed to find almost all the necessary parts, it was time to remove the damaged item, which presented no problems.
Then, having fitted the new/old (much bigger) rad, with the (much bigger) cooling fan and (much bigger) plug, it was time to fit all the hoses and the new, separate expansion tank.
All done, apart from finding out where the pipe that fits to the small tube on top of the expansion tank goes?
Does anyone own a DGT with this set-up?

EDIT: My Haynes manual doesn't cover this area.
