Put PAS pump back on. Used a Land Rover water pump bolt to replace the snapped bracket pivot bolt. Replaced the hose from the radiator to the thermostat. Fitted a new starter battery, moved the old one (which is still in reasonable nick) to the other side of the engine bay as a backup, and moved the leisure battery to inside the back. The leisure battery will eventually be moved to under the passenger seat.

Belt and water pump next... :shock:

Fitted a new rocker cover gasket, figured its cheaper than keep topping up the oil :shock:

Have to get the pressure washer out soon to clear the mess from the several week long leak, too feckin cold today though gave up when me fingers went numb :lol:

Well despite cleaning all mating surfaces and running the engine for 10 mins after fitting the new gasket with no sign of any leak, I find after driving 10 miles and sitting waiting for a mate, he comes out of his house and says you've got a puddle of oil under your truck, bollox the feckin rocker cover is now dripping, cursed lots and checked the oil, halfway between max and min, cursed lots and then drove home slowly watchin the oil light ready to switch off rapido, then cursed some more and then went to the pub, I will look at it tomorrow, I was gonna have a lie in as I don't have to start work til 10 tomorrow, so that's fecked the lie in! :shock:
