Yep, They all go there

Get some copper pipe (think 15mm fits) drill the hole out to 15mm and arialdite the pipe inside the header tank. Don't it on a couple in the past and they are still going strong

It will fix the problem, but I wouldn't say it is a permanent repair

Cheers for that Dyney

A trip to B&Q this morning and done the fix, now just waiting for the Araldite to go off.

best to go for a header tank from a later car (post 96) as they are metal instead of plastic, you will need to make a bracket as the fitting to the inlet manifold is different.

here is a pick of a later header tank fitted to my old my95 wrx
