Just wondering if anyone who is experienced in the area would be interested in changing our black gr's waterpump and timing belt.

$350 cash in hand, ill be supplying the pump and belt.

Shoot us a pm if your interested, $350 is negotiable.

Cheers,
Matt & Kate

Ill even pay $200 if i strip all the cam covers, radiator, power steering pump, wheel and shock out of the way if you can just take the belt and pump out and put the replacements in.

and supply you with a 6 pack of your choice while you work.

Man up. Do it yourself. It aint that hard.

I should shouldn't I, could i do it with a socket set and screwdrivers?

Really, I always thought replacing your timing belt was a PITA, and expensive if you screw it up?

It certainly is, maybe i should just sell the car and neglect to tell them that its leaking, would be a lot easier.

Careful, someone might quote you saying that if you try sell it one here

I was joking.

I'll think about it. What's your time frame?

Whenever your keen, we have a car we can borrow, could even drop it at your house if you want. Its still driveable, mainly dumps its water when it gets turned off, i know its leaking water into the shaft as its become noisy.

Could even have it over a couple of weeks if you want.

I'll have a chat to the misses tomorrow as we are so busy leading up to Xmas, I am still only half way through building my deck, not to mention the other 10,000 things I have to do.

You're 100% it's the water pump?

Its losing water, and as soon as i park it up it dumps water on the ground at the timing belt cover side. No leaky heater core or radiator pipes.

Had to top it up 2 litres the other day so she could drive it to work.

If you could talk to her that'd be great $350, i could even drop it off this saturday.

Go & grab a breather radiator cap - same as the one that's on there, but not pressurised. You'll get a whole bunch more kms out of it before needing to top up the water again if you don't pressurise the system.

Will it overheat though because it has a lower boiling point?

Its still gonna run dry & overheat mate, just will take longer.

Any word simon?

Shaft bearing is getting dry, so we arent gonna drive it, leaving its last bit of life for trip to esk.
