Help.. We need to buy a new cap as our one doesnt seal properly any more. Have looked on previous threads and have noticed advice to buy one from BongoBits. Although this is a radiator cap? On our Bongo the two caps a slightly different. Is there a difference and does it matter?

Yes it is a radiator cap but it is 1.1 bar rating. The 'small Japanese standard cap' as available from the likes of Halfords and motor factors has a 0.9 bar rating. Not sure if the difference in rating makes a difference to the performance but do you want to take the chance?

thats what our confusion was. I guess others have replaced the cap with the 1.1bar one and had no problems so think will have to get that and see what happens. Thanks for the reply.
