Thanks for all the replies so far.
That quick seel will that work on hard plastic you think?
Might be worth a visit in B&Q tomorrow or Halfords.
Always cheaper then a new radiator  if it works  :)

This weekend I cleaned the place where the leak is and used a compound glue but today it started to leak again.
I took out a soldering iron and whilst it was still leaking I melted the plastic a little bit , enough to stop the leak and then melted some plastic on it from some tie raps to give it a little bit more strenght and waited for half an hour.
I started the engine and let it run till the temperature was around 90 degrees and there is no leak visible.
So hopefully it is sorted bt will keep an eye on it for the next week.
