A device (10), and a method for forming such a device (10), for a fluid system for a vehicle, comprises first and second members (12, 13). The first member (12) is adapted for direct mounting on the chassis or engine of a vehicle (11); the second member (13) defines at least part of a leak tight fluid chamber (15) of the device (10). The first member (12) is of a thermoset material suitable for withstanding operating conditions and loads associated with direct mounting of the device (10) on the chassis or engine (11), and the second member (13) is of a thermoplastic material suitable for welding to ensure leaktightness of a fluid chamber (15). The second member (13) is interlocked with the first member (12) during moulding thereof.
