    Well, at least it's going at the moment!

    Anyway - Day 8 - I am now officially not only the world's slowest "mechanic" - and I use the term in the loosest possible sense, but also the world's worst.

    After finally putting everything back together - I ask you all this....

    "What is the difference between my cooling system and a sieve?

    Answer - a sieve holds more water.

    ABD is now a distant dream. So - who can loan me a car trailer? Kind of over this now.

    It's between the thermostat housing and the top of the pump. Killer just came by and took a look - the good news is, it's not my fault - the bad news is - the pump is coming back out and being returned to the S1 shop in Melbourne.

    There is at least a 4mm gap between the copper connecting piece/washer and the thermostat/pump. Dud part. Very poor. I knew it wasn't really an "original part" when I discovered it had 6mm metric threads to attach the fan - now this. There is no way to get around this problem, so back out it comes. Back to square 1.

    So I'm going to try to get a new pump from FWD or at least a kit to rebuild the original pump.

    Totally ****ed off - official scratching for All British Day. At least this thread is aptly named.

    A similar thing happened on mine, so I put a washer in the recess on the pump to lift the O-ring into contact with the thermostat housing. Don't know if it worked yet,
