Hi Guys.....Markie here now -  NOT MRS  

Thanks for the help, been to see the 4 pot veccy - wife phoned me moaning about burning, water peering out and grinding noises etc etc...you get the picture.

She also told me her battery on mobile was just about to go flat as the call dropped due to said battery. Just managed to advise beforehand to leave the car - dont touch it - get a taxi home and post on here, which she did  

Anyway - no coolant in expansion tank - no emulsification of oil, and a great big mark where the water has come out - clearly water pump - nasty grinding noise when i turned the car over for a few seconds, but behind the grinding you can hear the engine is ticking over fine ( if you know what i mean)  Topped coolant up and its coming straight back out the same area - its just coolant though and nothing else.

So ive secured it in the cctv car park and will order a water pump, looks like i am now doing a public water pump change over the weekend or early next week  

In between this i did the quickest dispack change ever and got aBobs old estate running - albeit rough so need to retrace my steps and check the leads on passenger side ( possibly wrong way round)

Wonder whats gonna go wrong next today  

Jeez Mark, it sounds like you're gonna be a busy man Hope you get it all sorted

Aye - 9pm last night your old Estate got its new dispack. Took it for a spin and it seems better but not quite 100% probably not put plenum etc back together right and will retrace steps tomorrow...it was one hell of a quick rebuilt  

Took it for a spin in the rain and realised i hadnt replaced the wipers though

Maybe rushed it and forgot something? :-/ I'm sure you'll get it running sweet again Mark.

LOL, we did that at the cambelt party in Brackley. At around 11pm, sent MaxV6 off in his car. Odd, when 30mins later he was back, soaked to the skin. "Can I have my wipers back please?" he said

Markie, remember water pump on the 2.0 is driven off the cambelt so remember the locking kit!  

May as well change that while you are at it.
