So I had a small coolant leak from passenger side plug at rear of manifold.
Took out the plug and threads came with it.... :o

So I managed to get a tap in there, greased to catch the swarf.
But the threads did´nt look to be up to the job, no meat left...

So the plug went back in with an application of JB Weld..............the hole won´t be used anyway.
