Well that was more fun than I planned.....Looking over hoses the return on my coolant tank broke at the neck. Trying to dig the end gently out of the hose so not to loose it, it crumbled as well and this may explain my slight loss of coolant over time.....Guess it had died before as i only gently moved the hoses.
Ebay seems oddly out of 4E0121403C variants and it seems different than any other part!
I've rigged it with a small bit (~3") of 8mm copper pipe that had an olive on it, drilled in to be a tight fit, epoxy around for good measure. Then a jubilee clip as it's a bit smaller outer diameter along with the original spring clip.
I'll replace the bottle when one becomes sensibly available!
