Should you make it across to Mortain 50140, I can pressure test the coolant system. I'm with JM on it being a water pump, but it would be good to confirm before the French garagistes have your pants down. Did you pack the KY with the warning triangle, bulbs, yellow vest etc...as per the update for travelling in post brexit Europe?

I’m sure there’s some lube somewhere in my tool bag.

I work offshore as a marine diesel engineer, where we like to also throw salt water into the mix to add corrosion onto all problems and From the clean down this morning I was pretty sure it was the water pump from the fact it was ****ing out coolant, but as I’ve only had the car 5 days want to make sure so thank you for your advice.

Have you got a garage in Mortain?

Judging by the condition of the hoses I’ll most likely buy a complete set of rubbers to replace them all, and buy a new water pump and fit on my return after my next rotation.
But it would be great to know if your place would be able to check the work after I do it, or do the work for me if I can’t?
