Hi guys, I have not been on here for a while but have a problem which I think you should all be aware of.I tried to twist off my radiator cap yesterday and the four plastic lugs snapped off leaving a section of the plug stuck in the expansion tank. I have ordered a new cap from Amazon and some silicone grease as apparently the problem is the rubber gets hot and expands and then when you try to twist the cap off the workings are stuck tight hence the four plastic lugs snapping off on the underside of the top of the cap.
This is just a heads up so that you don,t get the same thing happen to you. I would suggest trying to gently undo your cap,then put a smearing of silicon grease around the inside and then put back on but don,t over tighten it.
Has anyone on here had the same problem ? I know this is a known fault as I have had a good look on the internet and looked at reviews on Amazon etc . Apparently the part that is stuck in the tank is a real bugger to get out.
