Forge motorsport alloy header tank.
Ive just fitted a Forge motorsport alloy header tank to my classic Impreza and noticed that the cap is a poor fit,when the engine warms up the water leaks from under the cap
Anyone got one of these and experienced similar problems or not ?

Mine did that, so I got a new Apexi cap. Problem solved. Its more likely to be the cap than the new tank.

Should be made well for £150,I didn't pay as much as that from them
but thats what they charge !
If mine splits it will definately be going back !

Oh dear,doesn't sound promising then. I only paid the extra and bought the alloy one as I thought it would be more reliable than the original unit
