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 ??

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.

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)
