So having replaced the water pump etc at the back i have over tightened the bleed screw on my radiator. Popped to the shops get home and coolant all down the front of the van. Here is the damage:

Is this fixable or am i going down the out with the old in with the new. Im fairly skint at the moment and have been told q-bond will do the job.

Any advice really greatly recieved

Try that metal putty they do in 99p stores. Fixed loads with that.

Ok thanks

Would ptfe tape be of any use?

Just seen the remainder of the photo, I thought it was just the threads gone on the bleed screw. Thus, ptfe will not suffice.

good luck with the repair.. it'll end up with a new rad though...

trousers down and assume the position for a new one
