thank you,i knew about the timing belt but wasn't quite sure about how to get at the water pump properly as i don't have a manual for the car.thank u anyway
to get correct space mate you really need to lift the engine with a engine lift,sounds crazy but its the fastest way,you can drop the engine mount etc n hold it up with a jack but its too tricky that way.just lift it up n do the job with a lift,nothing more than unbolting the mounts n lifting it 12 inches
