When you change the pump dist let me know if it was a new one as that was supposed to have been done with the belts. I can give my old mechanic some more abuse he wont reply to if he didnt

If he is the same individual who rebuilt the engine without fitting a single gasket, you don't need a crystal ball to realise he wouldn't have bothered changing the water pump either Numpty? :mouthshut

Just had a bad morning with ECP :headbanging

No wonder he used to collect my car in his nurses uniform, he was moonlighting as a mechanic :*laughs*

And this guy was recommended. Not one recommended anything I have ever used has been of any use. All recommended by women.
