Friggin car broke last night on the way home from work, temp guage looking rather high so I got out to check before hitting traffic.. Water pissing everywhere! Made a nice antrifreeze slick. Anyway, nabbed a lift home and abandoned the car. Went back later with the 16v and called the AA, some 90 odd minutes later, he arrived Shocked

He put some water in and it poured out almost as fast as it went in Evil or Very Mad Leaking from somewhere near the water pump, ended up being dragged home....should be fun fixing that! Got some about 10pm instead of 6.

Bloody thing

aye pumps easier than the core plug. But the core plug isn't exactly unheard of!

get the drivers wheel off and the arch liner and get someone to pour water in whilst you look for where its leaking.

Core plug will also more than likey mean camblet removel unless youi cut through the cover.

don't you think car@ sound slike carrot?
