What an awkward, bastard, ball ache, of a job.

That is all.

Well finally found some time and okayish weather to complete the job.

Book time 4 hrs, took me about 7 :eek

Not too bad considering
a) 1st time I've done the job on this car
b) I had to contend with stripped bolts
c) A bit of time spent back flushing the cooling system and heater (didn't really need it, came out nice and clear :smile)
d) I work quite slowly, cleaning, lubing and triple checking everything
c) My drive has a 15% gradient so I have to keep retrieving tools from the gutter!

I didn't think the old pump was too bad, but the new one runs more quietly, so pleased I did it. :wink
