ggrrr
Nice bit of a drive down some local byways this morning and noticed that there was some water dripping - now I've traced a leak to the water pump!
Can't get another until tuesday - but at least I've got the right one in mind (engine is a SD1 so different from the LR one!)
Annoyed - it's one thing after another!
Oh well.

pump
ok....
Pump on order and boy do SD1 pumps cost a lot.
So I've dowsed the existing pump yesterday and today in WD40. Also in the old way I've actually nipped the bolts up a bit - tighten and then un-tighten. Will knock them and do a little anti clockwise on each later and then use the rest of the WD40 (super size bottle).
Hope fully new pump will arrive on Tuesday.

it's off
so it's off - and what a sod the viscous coupling was to put on the new pump...
ready to put it back together now - those long bolts were nerve racking!
