I was tightening the lock for my bonnet and I tipped the radiator in the car. I tipped the strip of plastic that goes along the top of the radiator, radiator tank I think it's called. The crack is only about 1-2cm long and no water comes out, unless you turn on the car. Then it just drips out.

What's your suggestions/ideas/words?

Thanks

Try this place - they should be able to fix it. They're in Dublin. I'm not aware of any such repairers in Kilkenny - sorry.
