Hi guys,

I've just been quoted (by Lexus) £77 +VAT for a coolant header tank for my 1990 LS. I then tried Toyota, and once again went through the 'banging my head on the table' thing when I had to explain that Toyota and Lexus are one and the same, and that that LS400s are also badged as Toyota Celsiors etc. etc.

Upshot: without a part number, Toyota can't (or won't) help, and so at the moment I'm looking at best part of £100 just for a plastic tank.

Any info would therefore be most gratefully received.

Thanks in advance.... :yawn:

A Toyota dealer does not have access to the lexus order or parts recognition system so they would not be able to help you :whistling: . They could get you a part number for Celsior tank but it might not fit your car.

With regards to what youve been quoted £77+Vat is nearly 20% off retail price as long as it is the expansion tank you need and not the header tank that sits on top of the Rad

Hi Gecco,

Would that be a picture of you, by any chance? :D

The tank I'm referring to is the one between the relay/fuse box and the front suspension mount.

Cheers,

It was taken on one of my better days :blink:

The tank you need is the expansion tank, part number is: 16470-50012. Retail price is: £94.59+vat.

Plus the Celsior tank is a different part number: 16470-50030 and retail is £75.54+vat but i doubt it will fit

Thanks, will bear in mind. Out of interest, do you know what the difference is between the LS and Celsior tanks?

Cheers....

£100 is hardly a lot to pay to prevent that fine motor from being cooked if it looses all the water.

But I do take your point that £100 is a lot for a plastic tank.

I used to have a rover 800, replacement water expansion tanks were £45 for a replacement, breakers were nearly void of them as they were notorious for splitting under the sustained pressure. I know that some enthusiasts have had aluminium tanks made up at quite a cost to stop it ever happening again.
