Nice job Mr.Red. What mileage is on your thou?. Just wondered if this fault is mileage related, or just bad luck. I can see how the Sky Lift would have made life a lot easier for you, that's for sure.
Red, what coolant did you have in it. Strange colour on the internals of the pump.. Had you changed the coolant at some stage?
