Either way, its good to see you getting some work done to this beast :)

Yeah, getting work done on it isn't high up my priority list! :grin: Shaun will know what i mean.. :lipsrsealed:

Wll expansion tank has been replaced, stopped the water light on dash. Thankfully there was a puddle of water under the car which means my cooland loss isn't because of the head gasket! Yay! :grin: Looks like it's coming from the water pump :sad: Oh and when i started the car and had a look under, Oil was coming out the oil sensor! :sick: :grin:

Good times!

Good news indeed... well apart from the water pump.... oh and the oil leak.  is it just a split seal for the water pump?... easy fix.  How bad is the oil sensor leak?... is that not just a seal as well?

Hopefully all just seals that need replacing!

Oil sensor one is quite bad, quite a quick drip one every couple of seconds! Explains how i lost 3 litres in a year! :grin:

Oh that reminds me i want to drop it about 5mm even more on the back! :cool: :grin:

Will be getting 288mm brake setup as part of a swap deal for my old SPAX Suspension! Hopefully that will solve the Brake pad wear and ABS light. Plus my old disk have a fat lip on them!

Oooo big brakes.  :cool:  Don't count on it solving your ABS light issues, though, what's up with the current setup other than fat lips?  :grin:

Just noticed your sig.  :grin:
