Well i got the water pump got done yesterday, well in saying me i mean my mate done it and i helped out and did what he told me lol but it was a great learning curve and enjoyed doing it suprisingly
Anyway out with the rad, disconnected numerous hoses, took off the exterior belts etc then the main pully. Actualy all of it came off pretty easily with no hic ups suprisingly. Took off the covers and discovered its actualy got a relativley new timming belt, so thats abit of good news
Marked up the timming and undid the tensioner and took the belt off.
Undone the waterpump hoses and unbolted the pump and again came out quite easily.
The offending pump
Discoverd it was leaking from the thermostat and that the pump its self was completly ****ed. It span really freely and was really noisey too.
Nice shini new one
New thermostat, pump and gaskets all sealed and fitted
Put it all back together with only a slight hic up with the timming but got it all sorted and got it timmed up better than when we it started. Filled up all the fluids and started it up.
Should be back on the road soon just got a couple more bits to do. Thought it would be alot harder to do and was worrying me quite abit but i really enjoyed lol sad i know
