Well lads I went out tonight to unscrew that drain plug thing on the radiator and I have completely raped this plastic bolt (why plastic ffs?). Would repco have replacements?
Cheers. Grr.

Nah Repco wouldn't keep them in stock, probably be able to get one from the company they deal with for the radiators but it'd have to be ordered it. Best off prolly hitting the wreckers or a radiator shop (they might have an old falcoooon rad sitting out the back and pull it off for ya).

i stuffed the drain plug in my radiator, i just went down to repco with the old plastic plug and the bloke had a box full of different sizes.
He just measured it up with one of the same size cost about $4. The one in there now has like a wing nut plastic head on it so you can undo it with your fingers. |

Yeah I called Repco, but the bloody kiwi there (owners are kiwis) told me no. Tried wreckers didn't have any. Called Ford, $4, so went with them.

Lol, well I'm not sure if Repco are franchises or these people are just managers of this one. But yeah, kiwis in all their annoying accent goodness.
