Anyone know the cheapest place to get a new expansion bottle and thermostat housing / thermostat from please?

So far thermostat and housing £60 + vat from dealer and £60 inc vat for genuine new bottle from eBay.

Try MINIMatt MJR. They so spares and also second hand.

I don't think a new expansion is more than about £35 from MINI John have you tried Menzies (ask for Callum tell him I told you to call) ;)

I would go for an RMW or Forge expansion tank - may be dearer initially, but will then last unlike the crappy plastic OEM one

Callum at Menzies was great, parts ordered. Cheaper than some non genuine bits!
