		now thats intersting. theres was alot of pressure when i took the cap off, but not from exhasut gasses. usually you can open the cap on a dturbo at any temperature and youl be fine, but just now it exploded out a little bit after been stood still for a week

That ive never heard so cant comment but seeing as both parts share the same part number, i would assume they are exactly the same. Even a change in manufacturing would mean a superseded part so a new part number. 
 
Yeah Ozone, mine did the same. Was letting pressure out slowly from the overflow but when i took the cap off, was a lot of pressure. I ran it for about half hour like that and its been fine since lol

		Sounds like my head gasket issues, if I bleed mine up its fine, but as soon as I turn the engine off then head out again the temps go up to 90 plus cold blowers but then temp drops down, heaters get warm then it's fine no over heating or anything.

		Hahaha that's where trusting peugeot's info gets you, got your head up your arse and your foot in your mouth all in one go there Niall! Come round mine later, i have some uses for that kind of flexibility.    
Fingers crossed for your head dude, not sure what your chances are though if i'm honest. :S

		They most likely have the same part number because they dont make XUD ones anymore as its simpler to just make one kind, given it fits both then.

		Started it up and left it running for a bit today to see what was going on, om certain its the headgasket thats gone aswel as a busted radiator, water pissing out of 4 seperate places on the rad itself and its blowing bubbles in the coolant. 
ive got everything i need to do the change now, ordered a victor reinz gasket today so soon as that turns up the work can begin
