long story cut short, have a corsa B 98', and in trying to remove broken stud from one of the holes which hold the fan to the back of the rad, have cracked the plastic mount bit. (I dont have a haines manual sorry)

Then heard a nice hiss and theres water pissin out from the crack.

The old man suggested something like Radweld? Im not so sure whether it'll stick to plastic though? What do you guys reckon?
