So got home from training day at work and could here a strange rattle and knocking coming from the front end. Pulled up on the drive and pop the bonnet to find coolant fooking everywhere 
with my bank balance quivering in the corner I set about attempting to diagnose the fault.
No loose coolant hoses, but then I saw the large rad fan was at a funny angle sure enough give it a push and a wiggle and its wobbling all over the place. when I loosened the coolant reservoir cap the coolant literally ****ed from the centre of top pulley which I think is the water pump?.... Am I right. Will I have damaged anything in driving like this for the last couple of miles? The engine didn't over heat and I think I just caught it before it all completely let go.
From anyone who has replaced their water pump are their any extra parts worth ordering while i'm doing the job?

Great just before all the snow arrives
