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

[JamesV6CDX]

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

[JamesV6CDX]

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 .

[penny628]

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

[Pete Elite]

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 .
