Water Pump. - Birksie - 27 May 2009

Hi all. I havnt posted much lately, and im sure ive left this a little too late, but can does anyone like replacing water pumps? And if so, would you like to help me do mine so I can go to Norfolk in my D?
Im also going to need a battery or a battery charge. Mines gone flat with the car been stood for a year!
Can anyone help? :oops:

if i were near i would be round like a shot mate, but 3 bolts a sensor and pulley pushed on, putting the hoses on is the worst bit. But i find putting one in first and struggling with the other is the way to go good luck mate TT Big Grin

Ditto mate. Your at the wrong (cold) end of the country! I'm sure the northern lot will help out

Any Idea where to get Top post to side terminal wire adaptors from in UK?

Re: Water Pump. - Tourettes Tony - 27 May 2009

Likewise i just cut the ends off and put these on ...great for connecting things directly to the battery like amps etc... In my view your just limiting the type of battery you can get in the UK by keeping the US terminals

Re: Water Pump. - Birksie - 27 May 2009

True.
Thanks guys. I'll go and change the terminals and battery instead of keeping the AMerican side post version. But for now a quick remedy is needed.
I'll butcher it like Tony ! Wink lol

battery,i just bought the standard terminals and you can bolt them to the ones on the car to save cutting.
Halfrauds, Maplin etc.

If you mentioned it a lot earlier I would have been able to help but I will be spending between now and EuroTec doing jobs on my own car and giving it final shake downs ready for the rolling road.........

Have you actually got the parts?? I may be able to help after EuroTec but I would have to see.
If not and it's not too late maybe ask Ed to bring spares with you.

Good luck, hope the leg is feeling better.

Re: Water Pump. - Birksie - 30 May 2009

Cheers Nick.
I have the parts. Bought them from Ed when we visited him last.
Chances are im not going to get it done in time. I need to sort the pump out, charge the battery and sort the onboard computer out. On top of that, she needs a BLOODY good clean. 1 Years worth of filth......THEN.....heh, not to forget the good old MOT and TAX!
Pfff. This years eurotec has come around too quick! Ive only just found out today from the DVLA that I CAN drive until they say otherwise (about my seizures a year ago). So im back on the road!
But no D :^(

2 Eurotecs ive missed because of one ar****le running over my foot. Cry :evil:
