hey guys my sport heater went cold last night when i was driving it temp was about half. had to put alot of water in her. let her sit a few hours then filled her up with water and bled out air out of thermostat and she was dead on again.. this morning shes doing it again but no water coming out of thermostat bleed screw, could it be water pump messing about, maybe thermostat? car has just had rebuild

easy to change , but you have to take all the casings off . i find it easy to take the radiator and front grill off much more room to get in at it

i have had problems with pattern parts not being the best of fits i would recommend a genuine pump
