BUMMER . Went back to the garage they said not there fault i said it happened while you had it ..basicly tuff crap Mr Doyle . thanks , but they did check it and say it was the waterpump .so what i want to know is can i do this easily enough myself with a bit of help.I priced up a pump at £38 and timing belts at £ 100 ....do the belts have to be changed ??? If so how many i thought it was just one that got changed ive never done this before but im not stupid and would have some experianced help and watch some how to videos first, is it feasible or am i going to have to pay a garage meaning big bucks pls any advice guys or giudes on how to do would be great :D

If you are good with the ratchets and have experience you can try this on your own . Timing belt has to come out . Good time to change everything related
