I need to replace the T-shaped pipe just behing the radiator but I can't find any reference or what it is called. Can anyone help?

At a guess it would be the "T" piece, http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID001583

This is the cheapst brand new one you'll find: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-MG...IAAOSwjXRXYwsA

Probably.

The trick with these is never overtighten the Jubilees if that's what you use. The plastic will deform and the joints will leak - even with a new T-piece. Unfortunately, the very popular metal versions are NLA. And a good opportunity for someone??
