    My coolant expansion tank is leaking. White residue all over the heat shield :( what a mess. It's split along the seam.

    Ordered a new one from Menzies, should be in on Saturday. :)

    A little job for the weekend me thinks.

    Yup - this is a very well known warranty issue and should be fixed by Menzies FOC!
