Should have been more specific it's the hard pipe that's pressed into the head

Ooooo not cool, is it the pipe seen poking it's little head out on the left in this pic?!?

Can you get the rotten bit out, so you can press a new one in??
If not someone I know managed to TIG a new piece of pipe on there?!? I'm not saying that's a solution just that's what he did!!

Yep that's it, the old one is out. Tiging is a bit much unless I can't find a replacement

I just hammered a 20mm piece of alloy tube in as its the same size as the original stab so went in as good. I applied a thin smear of liquid metal to assure a good deal but not sure it needed it.

Cheers looks like what I'll do, I'll make sure it's stainless to prevent rotting in the future
I'd do that with the 20 mm pipe just get a vernier on your hole he hehe first then I would use some lock tight sealer around the edges as you bash it in muahahahahah
Iirc Auto Vaux could do them....

Where's that from? Dealers?

I tried dealers and autovaux but both said it was discontinued stock. Always worth a quick call though as you never know what's on the shelf at different dealerships.
