help, I need a drawing to identify the hoses I need to order!
Also I need crank & cam seals, oil everywhere
Sent a desperate email to Ian and a more desperate phone call but the shop is shut already ?

Club shop for your oil seals or AVA liesure/bongobits.com.
As you have the V6 I'm afriad like all V6 owners it seems enevatable that leaky oil seals will rear thier ugly heads eventually. As the work to do the seals is requiring the whole of the front end equipment stripping off, I take it that you will be renewing the water pump and all of the tensioners/pullies etc. Not a cheap job and heavy on the labour bill, but once done you will have peace of mind for future motoring.

You are right, all stripped down water pump new rad, hoses stat, timing belt full kit and much more happening right now. Over £600 spent so far on bits without labour costs as yet
