So today i decided to flush out my radiator for the first time, in doing so i unscrewed the little plastic tap on the side of the radiator, and took off the hoses, ran water down there under low pressure, joined it all back up. filled it up and its leaking!!
Turns out that little plastic tap with the little drain hose on the side broke! the thread of the plastic tap broke, now coolant juse pours out.

Does anyone have a quick fix? i need the car for work tommorrow.
theres still some plast stuck in there, and the rest wont screw in the block it off.

try and get the rest of the plastic bit out. Long call but a bolt of the same thread?

im sure someone close to you will have a spare or something?

Happened to me once on other car I had, I filled up with silicone & a bolt in it and never used the tap again.
That might be a quick fix... but downside is you wont be able to use the tap again.
Cheers
