You mean the water bar on the back of the block? It has 2 exits at the back and goes onto the 3 way hose and front of the rad?

If so may aswell get a metal one from tx. Or have a look for a second hand plastic one.

But solid plastic ya?

There a quite tight squeeze around that area. On there the will be two 13mm bolts iirc on the bottom of the pipe. Undo them.

And you also need to undo the 3 way pipe and the two rear ones. Hopefully the jubilee clips will be in your favour here.

If not then it's gonna be a basturd!

But it's straight forward just fidlly and time consuming if the clips are shit lol

I would definatly buy metal one, also check its not the 3 way hose split, and water tuuning onto plastic bar and dripping off!

recently changed my 3 way hose, just bought a brand new roose one, as didnt want to buy a second hand one and risk a leak on that too and do it all again.

My hole on 3 way hose was barely noticible but under pressure I was loosing loads of water!!
