i think the correct term is " flange " mate :D

 

they're a bugga for leaking!, good news is that they're only a few quid!.

Get the O ring as well. Consider doing the one on the front of the head as well, while dropping the coolant out.

items 1 and 3 I think.

 

EDIT not as clever as I thought I was. :roll: Screen shot of the right page in ETKA.

one thing worth checking when you remove the plastic flange is any pitting where the o-ring used to sit against the head, i had a few small pits where coolant had been leaking past the knackered seal for a long time and had erroded the head slightly, i just cleaned out the pitted bits and skimmed some automotive silicone gasket sealent into them and let it dry before i reasembled it, if you dont fill these pits it they may just get worse
