do you have the pumps that pump the water round the matrix, i only ask as i had a look at mine today and found the siezed. They can be taken apart and cleaded with wd40 to free them

If they are fitted (not on all) then they are just under the expansion tank and over by the battery behind the rad.

oh right i wondered what it was there for lol i just rebuilt the engine as headgaskets went and put water into the oil all that now is spot on it. did hold water till matrix broke lol i even took photos of engine in bits and in stages putting back together all cleaned up pistons heads the lot very smooth to drive the only other little prob is the idling is a little lumpy but asoon as u press the throttle its as smooth as u like

thanks

I have a matrix here from a 2001, I keep moving it so it doesn't get damaged.
