stupid question, does it have oil in the engine....

If you're about VERY late tomorrow evening, I will probably be passing... can have a quick glance

Also - given the old pump shredded - I wonder if there's a foreign object in the impellor...

PM me some details?
It may involve you getting up at an unsocial hour - but providing I come somewhere near, it would be rude not to have a look / ear...

Referring to your previous thread you started on this matter i now wonder as James has said if you have part or parts of your old pump clattering around your water system :(.
-
i have flushed the engine and found nothing, the noise is worse since flushing it,should i flush it again the noise sounds like its coming from the drivers side of the engine
-
Easier to flush water than it is metal parts so may be getting stuck along the way ::).
May be better to let James take a look if he can :y.
