in my S type, a Volvo 1800-E recovery bottle was used, it is a thin bottle with a cap and there being so little space in the engine bay, this bottle fits perfectly in the available space.
My radiator has a 7 lb cap, any higher and it will create a lot of pressure, not good.
my 1984 Series 3 XJ-6 has a pusher fan mounted over the lower right side of the radiator, it is controlled by a thermal switch mounted on the bottom left side of the radiator, and powered through a Relay. Automatic, it comes on at a certain temperature then it goes off.
but you can just wire it directly to a switch and relay and turn it on when needed.
The size of the fan makes it ideal for the S type, it is small and powerful. You'll just need to fabricate brackets for it.
