thought it was seeping from the top hose.

it's the pump

not too expensive tho should be back outside by the weekend

 

Remember to upgrade to the metal one if you haven't already

 

You recon Jim

They found out you been taking your M3 to another garage for repairs mate

Your such a car garage whore

 

you what paul?

EIL, i dunno what i'm getting, i just pay the bill

well, in this case i struggle to pay the bill, i've not been this skint in 2 years

 

jim water pump on a bmw means overheating,,, i know MINE done that and it was due to the wanky plastic blades giving up and no longer spinning thus not pumping water round

what was the bill you paied for a pump ?

the upgraded METAL blade pump is 40 qiud from euros

you sure it wasnt just a gasket leaking ?

 

may have been the gasket leaking, but theyre notorious for shitting pumps, so changed it anyway

metal pump from euros... 150quid

 

must be a ring thing-my focus did its water pump.fixed it sold it bought a bmw 330 sport

 

fucking hell,,,, ive not even unpacked me case from the ring and you sold AND bought another car

jim thats ANOTHER reason why i wont buy M3,,, the 325 one for me was less than a third yours cost,,,,, M tax

 

130 for a m3 pump and 30 quid for a 325i pump

considering there the same BASE engine

 

Good move changing the pump.

if its a 97 or before you could have the plastic blade version. I have just changed mine and the thermostat pre a trip to the ring *just* in case it failed in service.

All good maintenance on a BM.

 

it's a 94 with 120k mate, probably the first one off the production line

 

should have phoned me up in Euros in Glasgow lol. Id have done u a better deal than that
