Good shout, I will do that. Anyone know where the best point to drain out the fluid? want to get out as much as possible before refilling.

Can you remember the cost of the pipe? Don't mind replacing and playing parts darts if it's cheap, if a replacement looks the same and is the norm id rather save the pennies and start with a fluid change and see what happens.

Pleased you got your alternator sorted:) With regards to the engine under tray, I got fec**** off with mine looking to remove these fixings i couldn't find, gave up and drilled all the rivets out, including on the front ally bar. Spent about 2 hours messing around! Still need to find these...

Cheers for the replies. Yea k-seal was just a last ditch attempt to buy me some time untill pay day after spending £100 on clutch hydraulics and in anticipation of a HG problem as there was no visible leak. Block tester showed all good and after having the under-tray off i can see it's leaking...

Hi all, My first problem post! my 1.8 k series has a leaky water pump. Bottle of K-seal didnt sort it so Im going to replace the water pump and seal. Quite wet around there so I guess I'd be wise to replace the cambelt and coolant temp sensor whilst im at it. My question is for the cambelt...
