It had a 1/2 mm hole in it from corrosion

Radiator was emptying out in minutes ffs, they had just driven 750 klm's from Geelong to here, so the timing was
impecable

Kanuckabun.
The spelling is wrong but it is the only Welsh phrase I know.
Also I don't even know if it is one, two or three words. Great language.
As well as Tome Jones and Catherine ZJ, Ertha Kitt, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Shirley Bassey, and Daffyd " The only Gay in the village."

What is this Welsh Plug thing you speak of ?

Just bought myself a similar set to this, would have made getting to that bastard bolt
inside the mount a lot easier.
The head swivels to any angle

I had one to replace in the back of the head in the ex's corolla (old model with N/S engine)...ended up punching a hole in the firewall and bashed it in with a big socket on a long extension bar...
