CHAV'SCORT NEEDS YOU !!!

[Roadkill]

O.K.

The chav'scort's seen better days.

But, unfortunately, after just shelling out £465 on Caddy parts its attempted suicide couldn't've come at a worse time.

So, basically, I must look at repairing it to last just another couple of months until the funds are there to buy another run-around.

I can only assume it's either the water pump gone or the gasket or a core plug near the left-hand side of the block.
My local supplier has a pump in stock for £20.

I'm currently suffering the effects of woman-flu.  

No, not man-flu as I can still walk about and go to work but I have to admit I'm not feeling my strongest at the mo'.

So.  I ask if anyone is available tomorrow morning to assist me in attacking the Chav'scort to ascertain whether it is as simple as the pump's gone or something more sinister.

I should have all the tools required at the house but am not convinced I'll have the energy to do it all on my 'tod.

Yeah no problem, took longer to drive there and back than drop the tree, unfortunatly when i got to my folks i had almost 2 hours chainsawing to do as the trees out front need quite a bit of dead wood removing

Being fixed as i type this, sounds like he went all out on this job buying a new water pump and a jubilee clip but deciding that the £8 cambelt was a little over kill seing as the current one still has some life left in it

[Fieldy]

a new jubilee clip eh?! wow

Would've given you A hand but only just seen this thread and quite possibly couldn't have got out to you

[Roadkill]

Yep, Fixed.

£20.50 For a new Pump.
50p For a Jubilee Clip
£3 For anti-freeze
£3 For Carb cleaner (to wipe gasket surface over)

£27 . . . Which she'll earn me back tomorrow when I go to Buntingford.
