It's all cool chaps. I will let you know the damage though. I sort of expect it to be more than £300. Main dealer! On a serious note is the water pump a big job? Looks fairly difficult to get to. I supose I will find out tomorrow!

TBH mate ive never seen under the bonnet of one. should be easier than 540i/740i due to bigger bonnet space I would of thought.

Oh well as I said earlier I'll find out tomorrow. Love that car though. It's a nicer drive than my SL. Just wish she didn't drink as much as Oliver Reed.
