Important! : broken radiator bleed nipple

4th July 2011, 23:10

hi. was bleeding the radiator on my 2001 saxo vts the other day when i tightened the bleed nipple which sits just next to the radiator. the one which you turn till it locks into place.
well i managed to break the thread on this and there is no way it is going back in.
will i need to replace the whole radiator? has this ever happened to anyone else?
is there another option to plug the whole? maybe a self creating screw thread?
thanks in advance.

I've got one here you can have if you cover postage fees

thanks mate but i got it sorted today.

if you carefully remove the bleed nipple it just pops out. got a replacement at the scrappys today.
