I've got a little bit of a problem with the coolant in my bmw powered v8 (2003)

Did not know there was a relief valve, that's what the pressure release cap is there for. The V8`s run higher pressure than the TD6 and are well known for expansion tank failure. Buy a new tank and a diesel pressure cap with number 140 on it as opposed to 200. Hopefully, there is no other problem apart from a split tank. The only other place it can leak is from a water connection or the air bleed screw 2007 TDV8 VSE

I’d be looking at the radiator, they are well known for sludge in the lower galleries causing what looks like pressure building up.

You sure it shouldn't be blanked?

I've had a few britpart parts and find them unfit for purpose. |

Spot on your blanking cap is missing. Check the top of the picture.
