Changed my water-pump (£21,Paddocks) 6 months ago as a precautionary measure whilst changing cam belt etc.... Bloody think exploded last Friday sending the fins into the alu housing and wearing a circular hole,dumping coolant ever where, managed to get home with a 20 litres jerry can of water.Luckily I had kept the old one which I put back on-Not happy though as it could have happened in the middle of Spain next week!!!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Oh! And whilst we are on the subject does any one have a "top tip" for getting the engine block drain plug out that is nicely hidden behind the dip stick/exhaust downpipe?????????

I never touch it, if you wanna drain the coolant, pull a pipe off!
