I run a Volvo Amazon 131 with a 1.8 engine.
I went to order a radiator cap today and realised the one i had fitted was not correct, and neither was the one recommended for my year model etc.
So I'm not sure if the rad has been altered or changed over the years
My problem is the standard on is a short reach 4lbs cap that's less than an inch long but measuring the neck of my rad is 1inch (25mm) deep so its never really sealed on the rad.
My local motor factor is very helpful but cant supply a correct cap without knowing the part number...
I have emailed QH today but no answer yet...
Does anybody use a 4lb rad cap with a length of just over 25mm and if so what car is it off ? and part number if possible.. I have a funny feeling the Moggy Thou i used to run years ago was close ?
