Well i must say what a thoroughly entertaining read all round, the story is just amazing and the comments to follow equally as grand..
CS should have a "likes" button...
WOW, Holy sweet jesus and well truly outstanding... All round in planning, expertise, craftsmanship and end product.. Sure shows why the rozzers in Essex need exige's :)
Now from this amazing photo that ive managed to ruin with my little paint adventure, i presume all the highlighted parts are the correct ones as would be needed to be replaced after a pump failure, along with the obvious aux belt as well..
Now with this i would also presume it to be the case...
Well could well be much worse news, to be fair.. And new aux belt and pump isn't the end if the world..
It is definitely doing as what a few have mentioned by sounding like a dephaser going and as soon as water temp starts to rise its seeping down by the pulleys on the driver side..
Just...
On the back of this thread, last night the water pump just gave up on mine and would not hold any water what so ever..
got all towed back in the late hours of this morning, and been out to have a look at it today but can't quite figure out how the whole assembly for the water pump and the Aux...
Lets say he wasnt far off this for a good 5 miles (straight road/not the best surface though) as i was erm how to put it exceeding the NSL some what and wasnt anywhere near..

RB with stripes/blonde driver around about half 3 ish?
One Monaco 182 near Newark, sorry would have waved but was concentrating on going around the artic..
And one Monaco followed by a BG near Cranwell..
Had you all been of somewhere together???
Well dependant on others going, i thought the service station on the A17/A46 roundabout would be a good place to meet for people.
Will have to see who else is going this way first..
Sorry for missing the last Lincs meet people, no job, little cash all kind of imploded on me a little plus saving just for FCS..
Just wondering if theres any Lincs bod's going down on the Sunday that are convoying grantham/newark way at all??
Yeah, all sorted now, Noob error really, it was either the weird oil seal thats underneath the inlet hadn't seated right or even sillier the Oil breather hose had come off, but theres no jubilee clip on there :S should there be?
No i didn't as, from what ive read some say it isn't a essential to replace as long as your its fairly new.. my thoughts exactly, that why i checked the Map and air flow sensors..
In light of not starting another self servicing thread,
I've just done the plugs on mine and was just about to move it to get the oil done, And every HT lead was taken of individually and replaced after each plug changed. But upon starting the car (182) is now idling straight up to 4.5/5k in...
