so today the garage rung and said my car was ready for collection

the problem was the water pump had got rusty inside so it was pushing rusty bits around the hoses and blocking it all up so in the end they done the cambelt and water pump new rad new thermostat and flushed all the hoses out

had to stop on the way home tho as there was smoke coming from under the bonnet so rung the garage back up and they said it could be the parts as they are new and there was a horrible smell aswell but got it back home and was all ok so hopefully it was just the new parts burning off

 

Glad to hear mate water pumps again ;) Don't say anything to Tidgy Haha  sorry mate :) 

 

But least it's sorted and nothing like a headgasket failure and on the plus side cambelts done too :D 

yeah lol the bloke before me done the belt but not the pump bit odd but never mind all done now

now time to order new parts :)

Thats the spirit cars back time to celebrate with new parts :D
