Found on loads of cars including TD4 Freelander 1.

Plus a BMW X5 air suspension tank (it was cheap from a breakers on eBay and looked small enough) for vacuum reservoir, and a bit of ali to mount them on…

Re-done in 6mm push-fit with my usual nickel-plated brass Camozzi fittings - look like stainless but don't cost much more than decent plastic ones!
