Re: Gutted, failed waterpump on my SRi 8v

Cheers all but decided it's got to go, it's been a great car to own and drive over the past 7 years but it's time for a change so will either list on Ebay spares or repair or ring around the scrapyards.

Re: Gutted, failed waterpump on my SRi 8v

Just like to say thanks for all your replys but after carefull consideration I'm afraid I'm going to scrap my car as I can't spare any cash on the possibility the repair is unsuccessfull, so I will be ringing around to see what scrapyard's are willing to give me tomorrow. :cry

It may be time to say goodbye :cry and look for a replacement.

Gutted, failed waterpump on my SRi 8v

So really I'm looking for suggestions as what to do next i.e scrap, sell it as sale or repair or repair it myself? The cars only ...
