On a 2001 Jaguar XK8, the coolant expansion tank is located in the engine bay, near the front of the vehicle, on the passenger side. It is typically a translucent plastic tank with a cap that is marked for coolant fill. To access it, you may need to open the hood and look for the tank adjacent to the radiator. Always ensure the engine is cool before checking or adding coolant.
As the engine coolant heats up, the coolant expands, so the coolant needs a reservoir or expansion tank to flow in and out of as needed.
To remove the expansion tank on a 1989 Jaguar, first ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Drain the coolant from the system to avoid spills, then detach any hoses connected to the expansion tank. Finally, unscrew any mounting bolts or clips securing the tank and carefully lift it out. Be sure to replace any gaskets or seals when installing a new tank.
The rad. coolant tank is located on the driver's side fender area.

To replace the expansion tank on a 1996 Volvo 850, start by ensuring the engine is cool and then relieve the coolant pressure by removing the cap. Disconnect the hoses attached to the tank, making sure to catch any spilling coolant. Remove the mounting bolts or clips securing the expansion tank, then lift it out. Install the new expansion tank by reversing these steps—secure it with bolts, reconnect the hoses, and refill the coolant to the appropriate level.
The rated coolant capacity of the whole system is 7 litres, but it might not be completely empty. The expansion tank is just the tip of the iceberg.

your cars thermostat could be broken, making the coolant+engine not heat up, sucking the coolant from the expansion tank because its cold and giving your car a rough idle cause it has a hard time warming up
when the engine is stopped, the coolant stops flowing. The coolant inside the engine can boil and force coolant into the expansion tank. this is normal.
