2004 Vauxhall Astra water hose failure

Car: Vauxhall Astra
Year: 2004
Variant: 1.4 club
Categories: Engine & Drivetrain
hose connection to top of water pump failed whilst driving causing loss of coolant and subsequent damage to cylinder head.
This apparently is due to a bad design fault using a plastic fitting to connect hose to water pump-I believe that replacements are now being supplied with metal fixings requiring the pump casing to drilled and tapped
