I took a radiator out of that car and unfortunatley i snapped the pipe going into the top, is there any way to stick wee bit of plastic that the pipe goes onto back on.
Im thinking of puting it back on with a nail and use a bit of superglue? Will this work, or can anyone suggest something stronger.

Re: Snapped Radiator Pipe
I had this issue on my Accord. I used a small metal tube to insert half of it inside the rubber pipe and the other half inside the radiator. Then use some epoxy mixture to seal it all in place. Worked well enough, since the little tube provided support.
Just make sure it doesn't work lose, find its way into the cooling system, jam the water pump, snap the cam belt and ruin the engine

Re: Snapped Radiator Pipe
It would be fixed just before it goes into storage so id say the glue will have many years to harden before it gets a chance in the coolant system .

Re: Snapped Radiator Pipe
Oh, I didn't realise you still had that, umm, can't sort it myself so you'll have to ask one of the admin bods to change it to something less, erm, fluffy.
Ooh, which reminds me, there I was flicking through the Easter catalogue for the (hideously expensive) firm that occasionally delivers us food and I came across "nadjeven pečeni kunić" - that's stuffed roast rabbit. Imagine the kids sitting down for dinner at Easter "What's for dinner mum? "The Easter Bunny." Wouldn't that be like having roast reindeer for Christmas?
