   Was flushing my cooling system to fill with anti-freeze mixture as before It only had water in it.
   
   and the bleeding screw above the thermostat housing has sheered off.
   
   For now I've used gum putty for exhaust's to try and seal it and so far so good, but I do need a replacement screw.
   
   Does anyone have a part number or what to search for ?
   
   Cheers

   you need a bleed screw not a banjo, an m6 capscrew will do till you get the right screw.

   You can use a banjo bolt with a dowty seal and still be able to bleed it when necessary.
