[Wanted] SOS: Ford Focus 2012 leaking coolant next to the clutch

[rundll32]

So I have a Ford Focus 2012, which is leaking coolant and I traced it to the 2 joints, that join the heater matrix and the engine + water tank.
Ford Kenilworth and Zewenwatch cannot sell me the 2 clips and o-ring, they rather sell me the complete pipes for R2k


The clips that I need are below. Does anyone know of a motor spare shop/junkyard that I can get those from in and around CPT?
I have gone to MasterParts, Midas, Autozone, SAC -Somerset West, Silverton Radiators and they all cannot help.

They go here, and it seems that it is a common problem with this model.

Only place you can get is at the dealership, no pirates available yet

If you need the car urgently, block off the pipes leading into the matrix from the engine bay (heated air won't work when you block it off but the leak will be gone and until you you find the part you'll be able to drive the car) have you tried scrap yards, look for someone breaking up a car like yours, might get lucky and pay something silly like R50-R100 for it, buddy of mine needed a certain pipe for his astra and the dealer quoted him R2k, found the pipe he needed at a scrap yard for R50

I work at the Zewenwacht Ford Dealership, this in the interior radiator... Yes we can only supply the complete radiator, with that being said. the whole dashboard needs to come out to complete this job properly... Goodluck though. if you end up going the route of replacing everything properly with a new interior radiator then DM me, perhaps I can get it alittle cheaper

Regards and Goodluck

Dealer wants to sell me complete aluminum pipes for R2k - That is not going to fly

Went to Maitland, trying to find a scrap yard -- seems like my ford focus model doesn't break as much, only found a Ford Focus 2013 and it seems like they fixed that issue with that model

I managed to acquire the O-Rings which are 18mm x 2mm, but fitting them in is a mission on its own, I will try to disassemble the dashboard such that I can access the heater core with ease - If all fails Ill drop you a DM
