just the pipe from the coolant tank cap goes to the header tank behind the number plate.
looks to me like you don't need to change the flange on the cylinder head, just blank off the small pipe by sticking a suitably sized bolt in it and hold it in there with a hose clip.

Thanks all
She got it fixed, just water pump o ring, and it's come home from devon to sussex without using a drop of coolant.

Thanks, will pass that on.

Hi All

My ex is on hols in Devod and her 2.1DJ has sprung a water leak. Anyone know at T25 friendly garage in those parts? or an old school honest place?

What grit wet and dry for sealing faces? I have everything up to 2000 knocking about. I read a Laurie Petit post a few days bac...

the s bolts are shear bolts i.e. the head shears off them when they are tightened up so they can't be undone (security feature). They are nicely shaped so you can get a drill in them and drill the heads off, then later you can unscrew the thread by hand. I just replaced with normal bolts when refitt...

motor factors then....
cheers thought it might be more complicated matching sender to gauge.

starter was ok
loosened the engine to bellhousing bolts, wiggled it all about until starter engaged then nipped them all back up starting with the two at the top holding the starter.

Mine had blue smoke on start up and when under load.... only really noticed under load in the dark when lit up by following vehicles head lights, lump was worse for wear in various ways so i have pulled it out and replaced it. hope yours is just a blocked breather, my breather wasn't blocked as it v...

Hi Jed
After all the above can you advise on the correct sender and vdo gauge combination? just stuck a new lump in mine, don't want to cook it.
