1 step forward, 2 steps back!

Post by Tim2cv »

Got in the 16v tonight to go see Tim leechs fleet (which are nice and I hpe they are ok now - sorry. I dont think its the battery though as the 2cv is fine still) andas I was leaving my drive i 'luckily' noticed a pool of liquid and a trail to the car. stopped, went back abit more and another pool had arrived. Bugger! Luckily...? its water so i expect the water pump has been disturbed when doing the cambelt... maybe maybe not though! Luke I need to borrow your pins for abit longer if thats ok? How annoying!
Maybe the whirring is the water pump? Kicking myself now for not chaning the pump, i have changed about everything else! arse!
2cv saves the day though!
