what colour was your coolant last time you changed it?

[darrsi]

I do believe thats what I said, water pump problem, if you read both threads
quiet when cold, rattles like mad when warm ?? 
what colour was your coolant last time you changed it?
They are related :wall
and no you cannot get bearings or seals for it, the complete pump needs to be replaced.
Since it does not happen to often it is worth taking a chance on a second hand pump.

I know, and i do believe that i remember you posted as i was typing my answer at the same time.
And yes i know that he has the same name, the same bike, and i've been reading and commenting in both threads too, and i never mentioned buying bearings or seals for it, i was trying to pinpoint exactly where the actual fault was for starters!
Have a read and you'll see for yourself!  :wall :wall
Did we get a bit tiddly last night perchance?  :b
