Re: expansion cap
It's in the post....1.1 bar yellow top.
As a matter of interest I have a 0.9 bar yellow top one here as well. It would make sense to me to have this on the Expansion tank and a 1.1 bar on the Rad.!!
Does anyone know if there is a differance between a 1.1bar yellow top and a 1.1bar red top ??

Re: expansion cap
I'd have a plain cap on the radiator and a 1.1 on the tank through choice - the released pressure in the radiator isn't going to go anywhere unless you've got an aftermarket radiator and haven't blanked off the outlet stub at the neck.

Re: expansion cap
I'm with you on that Dandy...My thoughts exactly. Pointless having a pressure cap on the Radiator of a Bongo. (unless..as you say... you have a outlet spigot on the filler neck and it's not blanked)
