Guys
1985 MY car with single type expansion tank. Am I right in thinking the cap should be 15 PSI ?
Also, how full is the tank meant to be when cold?
Many thanks.

I agree with you. The single header tank uses 15 psi cap A082K6031F
Nothing is fool proof. Fools are clever!

The tank should be about an inch from the neck of the filler. I concur (always wanted to say that) about the 15psi cap.
