Looks like garden hose quality fittings, no wonder they fail so soon.

When I had my BMW318i I had the plastic header tank split from top to bottom, later the plastic outlet from the water pump split. .All cheap naff stuff. Not what you expect when you buy a quality car.

Graham I have on the shelf a 1972 mexico one, to the eye it looks OK. Could be different material to modern ones.

The clutch master cylinder piston on my old Dodge W200 4x4 was plastic with a rubber seal, but the actual cylinder was metal... Can't remember the fluid reservoir now.

I have not looked at the radiator in detail on my Roadster but presume it is the same. I think if mine goes I will take the radiator out and pop down to my local radiator repairer he took my Plus8 rad apart and put a new core in, better than original for 40% the cost of a Mulfab one. So I am sure he should be able to replace the plastic fitting by braising on a a suitable brass one on instead and hopefully would never fail again. I suspect if not hard to do no more than £50-100.
Why not see what your local radiator repairer could do. :santawave:

Just checked my radiator. It's fine but the electric fan shroud mounts have sheared at the top on both sides! The whole thing is just flopping about....
