Ok, so I've had a years trouble free motoring. Sailed through its MOT a few weeks ago. Drove home last night and it tried to cook itself. Had a wee looksy and it appears to be the water pump gasket, but might not be.

Got a gasket, stripped it down, bit of a chew on, alternator off, fan off, bottom pully off, cover off, cambelt off, slack adjuster off. If i had more time Id just change the gasket and put it back together and try it, but i dont.


Ordered new water pump. IF YOUR GONA DO A JOB DO IT RIGHT! That is the motto on here isn't it?
