Ive seen some old cars with "A" seris engines with a settup like you describe , maybe a moris 1000 or A40 or something like that .

You can buy the thing you need from most mini spares supliers, all it is is a bit of metal pipe that bolts on to the same place as your heater tap as a repaicment. They cost bout £5... I prefer em to havin a tap, because like you said, the taps leak and the cables are C**p. The only down side is that in the summer it gets roastin in the car because you got hot water runnin through the heater system permenantly, but thats a small price to pay for somat thats functional and looks cool.

If it gets too hot ......open a window
